Nintendo Ends Google and Apple Account Sign-In Support
Nintendo has announced that it will soon discontinue Google and Apple account linking for all users. According to a recently published support page , players will no longer be able to log into their Nintendo accounts using external credentials from Google or Apple. This upcoming shift also means that new users will lose the ability to create a Nintendo account using Google or Apple credentials. Furthermore, Nintendo is terminating the specific My Nintendo Platinum Points mission that previously rewarded players for linking their third-party accounts. The target deadline for phasing out this integration is January 26, 2027 . However, the console manufacturer has noted that the exact timeline for completion might be adjusted depending on the progress of internal system changes . Nintendo has not publicly disclosed a specific reason for removing these sign-in options. To prepare for this change, users who currently rely on Google or Apple to access their profiles should transition to using their registered email address or Sign-in ID along with their standard account password. Alternatively, players can set up a passkey , which Nintendo fully supports as a secure authentication method. Anyone who has forgotten their password can utilize the password reset feature on the official login portal, which sends recovery instructions directly to the registered email. Players who no longer have access to their associated email address are advised to reach out directly to Nintendo customer support for assistance in recovering their profiles before the deadline takes effect next year.

Google Pixel Tag Finally Arrives Stores In The U.S.
Google has officially launched its Pixel Tag item tracker alongside the Android Find Hub network, while simultaneously confirming a restricted initial release window . Unlike hardware products such as Pixel phones and smartwatches, which are distributed across dozens of markets globally, the new tracking device is launching in just eight countries worldwide. According to official support documentation provided by Google , the initial retail release countries include Australia , Canada , India , Japan , Singapore , Taiwan , the United Kingdom , and the United States , with a minor exception excluding Puerto Rico. This selective launch strategy leaves out several major global regions, most notably Europe , where the tracker is currently unavailable through official retail channels outside of the United Kingdom. Despite the restricted retail availability, industry analysts suggest that the tracking device will likely still function internationally due to the inherent travel utility of tracking hardware. However, consumers residing in unsupported regions will face hurdles acquiring the device through authorized retailers and will not be eligible for standard manufacturer warranty support if purchased via secondary channels or imported from launch markets. Google has indicated that regional availability may expand over time as the Find Hub ecosystem matures and regulatory compliance hurdles are addressed in additional markets. Until then, international buyers outside the initial release zones must rely on alternative procurement methods. This rollout accompanies other recent updates to the Android tracking network, including the deployment of left-behind proximity alerts and new Gemini integration tabs designed to help users locate misplaced items more efficiently.
