Nintendo Switch Online stands out among online gaming subscriptions, especially because of its collection of classic Nintendo games, which really appeals to those feeling nostalgic. With the upcoming Switch 2 potentially adding GameCube titles, the service looks set to improve for subscribers who continue paying. A recent leak suggests Nintendo might finally be adding a feature many players have been asking for, though there could be a downside.
A new leak suggests Nintendo Switch Online could soon include achievements, something many gamers have been requesting for a long time. Nintendo is currently the only major platform without this feature. If the information is accurate, only players with an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription will be able to earn and track achievements.
Achievements Might Be Coming to Nintendo Switch At Last, But Only If You Pay Up
Like all leaks and rumors, it’s best to be cautious about these details until they’re officially confirmed. The source, Nash Weedle, doesn’t always have a perfect track record, so many Nintendo fans are understandably skeptical. However, the feature they described does sound plausible.
Rumour/ Leak: Missions, Rewards, and Achievements coming to Nintendo Switch Online

Nintendo Switch Online could be getting an update to its rewards system, potentially letting players earn points for completing in-game achievements. Currently, you can only earn points for things like icons and wallpapers. However, a new report suggests Nintendo might finally add achievements within individual games to the rewards program – similar to how it works on Steam and other platforms – giving players extra satisfaction for reaching milestones.
It looks like you’ll need a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to unlock achievements in Nintendo games on Switch or Switch 2. Unlike on other consoles where achievements are free for everyone, Nintendo is placing them behind the paywall. If this is accurate, it’s still exciting news, as many fans have been asking for achievements on the Switch for a long time.
When asked about the new feature, Weedle said he doesn’t know when it will be released. Fans are currently unclear how this will differ from the current Nintendo Switch Online rewards system. Many are hoping it will be similar to the trophy systems found on PlayStation and Steam, or Xbox Achievements.
Right now, this is just a rumor until Nintendo officially confirms it. However, Nintendo has already updated Nintendo Switch Online with the release of the new Switch console, so it’s reasonable to expect more changes and features down the line. We’ll have to wait and see if these rumored achievements are part of those plans.
