How to Use Nintendo Switch Folders to Organize Your Games
Nintendo added the ability to organize games into “Groups” with update 14.0.0 for the Switch. Groups does almost the same job as “Folders,” which the Nintendo 3DS had. Here’s how to organize your Switch collection.
While they do a similar job, Switch Groups work a little differently from folders on the Nintendo 3DS. With the 3DS system, folders live on your Home Screen. Groups are accessed through the “All Software” option to the far right of the Switch Home Menu.
The other major difference is that, unlike folders, games can feature in multiple groups. So if you have a game that falls into multiple categories, (for example, “Racing” and “Retro”), you can simply add it to both groups. You can make up to 100 groups with as many as 200 games in each group.

At the far right of the screen, you’ll find “All Software,” select it.
On the “All Software” screen, press the “L” shoulder button to access groups.
The first time you do this, you’ll see this message telling you a little about groups. You can select the “Create Groups” button here to create your first group.
However, in the future when you’ve already created a group, you’ll have to press the “+” button on your controller from the Groups screen to create a new group like this.
From here, the process is identical. You’ll be shown a list of the games and other software you own.
Select every game you want to be part of the group. You can press the “R” shoulder button to change how games are filtered, and you can search for keywords in game titles, such as “Final Fantasy.”
Once you have all the games you want to group selected, use the “Next” button to proceed.
