I've stated repurchasing my Switch games on Steam (when rebates apply)

My switch games were all digital copies except for Zelda and Sea of Stars. I don't know if they'll even be available in the future should I accidentally delete them.

Eventually I might mod my Switch when it's not supported anymore by Nintendo and it doesn't connect to their network anymore.

    Unless the game is delisted, which happens very rarely, or they shutdown Switch 1 eshop, which shouldn't happen for quite a while, I don't think there's any reason why you won't be able to download them again.

    Of course if you are using modded Switch, that's another issue.

    Eventually it will be shut down. And if they just released the Switch 2, it means it's coming soon.

    Not necessarily. Switch 2 seems to be using the same eshop at the backend, just like PS5 and PS4 use the same system, so don't think Switch eshop will be shutting down soon.

    But yeah, eventually they will shut it down.
