One of the biggest advantages of Splatoon 3 is its online aspect. You can always start online matches with random players, but it’s more fun when you can jump through levels with friends. There are several ways to play together, from simply joining a friend’s game to creating space just for you and your friends. If you have several friends who want to play, there is also a Private Battle mode that allows up to 10 players.
We’ll go over the things you should know for each type of multiplayer and how to set them up.
Things to note
- You must have a Nintendo Switch Online membership to participate in Splatoon 3 Online Sessions.
- Joining a friend’s game doesn’t guarantee you’ll be on the same team, but it can allow more than four friends to quickly play together if there are any openings.
- Creating rooms causes 2-4 players to be on the same team.
- Private battles accommodate up to 10 players and up to two spectators. However, you will not level up or get rewards for playing this way.
Splatoon 3: how to set Nintendo Switch status to online
Splatoon 3 is one of the best multiplayer games for Switch to play with friends, but first you need to let them know that you are ready to play. To get started, make sure your Switch online display status is set to be seen by friends. This way, they will be able to tell if you are online and will be able to join matches with you.
- Click on yours profile picture in the upper left corner of the Switch main menu.
- To select User settings.
- Scroll down and click on Friend settings.
- Make sure the View online status on the section is listed as All of the friends or Best friends.
While playing Splatoon 3, you can see which of your friends are online by looking at the main menu or by bumping into their avatar in the lobby. This also helps you see if they are free for a new game or if they are in the middle of a round.

Splatoon 3: how to join a friend’s game
Instead of setting up a formal room, you can also just jump into a match with another friend online if they’re already in a match. This method can allow more than four friends to play together. Just keep in mind that doing it this way only guarantees that you will be in the match, but not that you will be on the same side. If a friend is not currently in a game or is trying to join a game, you will not be able to join him.
- Go to menu pressing X button
- To select Lobby.
- press the L button to bring out the Match menu.
- Now you can select your battle gender. In the Lobby you can choose Private battle, Regular battleor Battle of anarchy.
- Salmon Run can be reached by doing these same steps from Grizzco.
- Next, you need to press right on the D-Pad to swap from Solo to With friends. Otherwise, you will simply start a game with random players.
- A list of your friends will appear. Choose available friends you want to play with.
- To select Yup.
You will have to wait for the session to set up, but once everything is ready, you will find yourself playing on the same stage as your friend. Work together or against each other to paint the city red (or the color assigned to you).
Let’s get the party started!
Splatoon 3 is immeasurably better to play with friends. There are many ways to enter matches with people of your choice rather than entering levels with random players. If you have one to three other people you want to play with on the same team, then we recommend that you create a room so that you can all play on the same side.
If you’re just looking for the ability to quickly get in with others, you can find a friend’s name on the list and dive into their correspondence, but you may not be on the same side. However, if you have several friends who want to play, you should consider setting up Private Battle mode. It allows the membership of up to 10 people. You won’t earn extra points or points by playing this way, but you and your friends will have a lot of fun together.
Good luck out there claiming territory and testing all the new features Splatoon 3 has to offer!
