Nintendo Switch Is Reportedly Getting Popular Xbox and PlayStation Feature Soon

Last month, the Nintendo Switch received a firmware update in Update 13.0, which introduced some new features. This included the arrival of Bluetooth audio support, along with some Quality of Life improvements. However, it also contains some hidden secrets, which might involve a popular feature that Xbox and PlayStation users have had for years.

Players on the green and blue side of the console wars have been able to earn digital rewards by finishing off achievements in video games. But, Nintendo consoles have never had a proper feature like that. However, new rumors suggest that players on the red side might not have to wait a long time.

Datamined information suggest new achievements feature for the Nintendo Switch

Recently, dataminers have found new information regarding an upcoming feature following 13.1 update’s release. The scalpers have found out that the developers might finally allow players to complete achievements to earn digital rewards. Many suggest that this might involve the long awaited integration of My Nintendo in the Switch.

Mobile fans of Nintendo titles might know a bit about My Nintendo and its missions. With My Nintendo, players can earn rewards by completing tasks in mobile titles like Fire Emblem Heroes and Super Mario Run. The rewards include both Platinum and Gold coins. With these coins, they can redeem exclusive games, discounts, in-app items and many more.

I would say something similar to Nintendo mobile games. I read the Splatoon 3 will be one of the first game to implement it.
