However, you will have to change the DNS (entirely safe process) on the Nintendo Switch to achieve this and get Spotify on the Nintendo Switch.

Step 1. To play Spotify on Nintendo Switch, navigate to System Settings (the gear icon).

Step 2. Under the Settings menu, choose Internet.

• Click on Internet Settings.
• And click on the network the Nintendo device is connected to.

Step 3. Access the DNS Settings menu.

• Choose Change Settings.

Step 4. Under the Change Settings menu,opt for Manual DNS options.

Step 5. Type in the Manual DNS Settings.

• Unlike VPNs, you cannot simply enter any DNS. So, type in 045.055.142.122 (sometimes you do not have to enter the first 0, so it will be 45.055.142.122).
• Click OK.

Step 6. Save the Settings.

• Click on Save.

Step 7. Access the Google Chrome browser.

• Click on Connect to this network option after saving the DNS settings.

Note:  As mentioned, Nintendo does not have Spotify. And that is thereason for entering a specific DNS server, which is “45.055.142.122.” This DNS IP is linked to a service named SwitchBru. SwitchBru is the one that tricks the Nintendo Switch service and redirects to Google Chrome via Nintendo.

Step 8. Click on Continue to Google. Or use the left pane to enter a URL, read news, or modify something else.

You can then enter the URL of Google Drive, sign in and play the uploaded songs and get Spotify on Nintendo Switch via these steps easily. Or you can sign up using the same account on Google Play and listen to music via Google Play.
