The Switch is already lacking in video-streaming apps, and the platform is set to lose one of the biggest ones next month. Nintendo confirmed that the Hulu app is already off the eShop, which appears to be a part of a larger change for the Disney-owned media service.
Nintendo’s support website states that official support for the Hulu application ends on February 5. The Switch app silently launched back in November 2017, months after the console came to retail. The app is not compatible with Nintendo Switch 2, and a native version of the app never came to Nintendo’s new console.
Disney confirmed last year that the Hulu app will be fully integrated into Disney+, unifying both of the company’s streaming services. Standalone subscriptions for both services will still be available once the platform merger occurs sometime this year, but anyone wishing to watch Hulu offerings at that point will have to do so on the Disney+ app.
