New Profile Icons Available for Nintendo Switch Online Subscribers

Nintendo has released some new additions to the Nintendo Switch Online app from the Nintendo Switch’s homescreen. They have updated the “Missions and Rewards” section of the app, adding a new set of missions to complete for Platinum points along with new profile icons that can be purchased with those same Platinum points. 

It has been quite some time since we have received new profile icons on the Nintendo Switch, which was last added in a system update back in November 2020. Nintendo is also offering new backgrounds and frames that can be used to expand on the customization of user profiles, and these new user elements will be available until April 4th, 2022. After that point, new items will be available.

The first wave of icon elements focuses on Super Mario Odyssey and Animal Crossing: New Horizons, with new icons, backgrounds, and frames themed around those games. There is more to see, too, so make sure to visit the Nintendo Switch Online app from your Switch’s homescreen.

These benefits are offered through the Nintendo Switch Online service, so a subscription to the service is required to access these new icon elements.
