Starting on 27th October 2026, Minecoins purchased on Nintendo systems will only be usable on those devices, including the original Switch and Switch 2. Minecoins bought on other platforms will not be applicable for purchases on Nintendo devices. Existing Minecoins will be transferred to a Legacy Wallet for continued use across different platforms, with no expiration date, but they will be used first in transactions. Players are advised to check the packaging of retail Minecoin cards for platform compatibility. Mojang has confirmed a digital upgrade path for current Switch players transitioning to Switch 2.
