How to play Switch Games Early?
Though you can pre-order and pre-load games early, there is no way to play Switch games early. Some people think that you can do it by changing the date and time of your device but that is not possible. This is because when you try to load a pre-ordered title, the device connects to the internet to check with the eShop. Such titles do not become available at 12:01 AM on the day they are released by the device's time; instead, they must first receive approval from the server.
