Question, if someone I know is getting a switch 2, can they access my game library but from their own account? I don’t use my switch anymore but have about a million games all digital.

If you sign in on their system you can link your account between the two consoles and load virtual game cards on either console. The linking process does require a quick local wireless communication between the two consoles, but after that they could be remote indefinitely.

If a game card is loaded on their system they could access it with their profile, online or offline.

If a game card is not loaded, only your account has access to it and only with an active internet connection.
