Mojang announces changes to Minecraft Minecoins for Switch and Switch 2
GoNintendo • • technology
Key Points:
- Starting October 27, 2026, Minecoins purchased on Nintendo devices will only be usable on those devices, and Minecoins bought on other platforms will no longer work on Nintendo systems.
- Minecoins owned before October 27 will be transferred to a Legacy Wallet, allowing continued cross-platform use with no expiration, but these will be spent before any new Minecoins purchased after the change.
- New Minecoins purchased on Nintendo devices after the cutoff will be stored in a separate Nintendo Wallet and restricted to use on those devices only.
- Retail Minecoin cards may no longer support Nintendo devices, so consumers should carefully check packaging and platform compatibility before purchasing or redeeming new cards.
