Nintendo Music Browser Version Launches on PC and Tablet

Nintendo released a browser version of its Nintendo Music streaming service on June 2, 2026, expanding access beyond the existing iOS and Android app. The web version requires no installation and works on PCs and tablets after logging into a Nintendo Account. It displays available titles and playlists on a larger screen. The update also adds support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, enabling in-car listening with voice input for hands-free control. A new "Recommended Mix" playlist feature, available in the app version, automatically curates songs daily based on listening history and played games. On the same day, music from the Nintendo Switch 2 launch title Mario Kart World began streaming, including tracks such as "Main Theme," "Mario Bros. Circuit," and "Rainbow Road (Finale)." Songs from the Free Run mode will be added later. Nintendo Music requires a paid Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

The web version launched at 12:00 JST on June 2, according to ASCII.jp. It requires no app installation and works immediately after logging into a Nintendo Account. GAME Watch noted that the browser version displays a list of currently streaming titles and playlists on a large screen. Inside and Game Spark both described the web version as convenient for use while working at home or during relaxation time.

Support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay includes a layout optimized for car monitors, and voice input is supported for hands-free control. GAME Watch added a safety note that drivers should not operate the service while driving, and that voice input may not be supported depending on the device model.

The "Recommended Mix" playlist feature, which curates songs daily based on listening history and played games, is available only in the app version, not the browser version. Inside and Game Spark both confirmed this limitation.

ASCII.jp noted that Nintendo Music can be used without a game console, as long as the user has a paid Nintendo Switch Online subscription, and suggested it as an option for people who no longer play games but want to listen to Nintendo music.
