Key Points:
- Nintendo Switch 2, released in June 2025, currently lacks an official YouTube app, leaving fans unable to watch videos on the portable console.
- A fan discovered a workaround by using the free indie game Super Animal Royale, which includes a link to the YouTube website within its interface.
- To access YouTube, players must download Super Animal Royale, create an account, and select the "Watch on YouTube" option from the game's menu, which opens the YouTube site in 360p resolution.
- While the video quality is limited to 360p, this method provides a temporary solution for watching YouTube on the Switch 2 until Nintendo releases an official app.
- The workaround has led to increased downloads of Super Animal Royale, as fans seek to use the game as a gateway for YouTube viewing on the console.
