- For Nintendo local wireless, plan on separate consoles. Switch 2 Edition explicitly requires one console and one copy per player.
- For online play on Xbox or Nintendo, confirm that each player has the required paid membership.
- Do not assume cross-play, save compatibility, or cross-generation matchmaking: the cited storefront listings do not establish those details.
