Yuzu is a fantastic piece of software that allows you to play Switch games on a computer in the event that your Switch dies or is out of commission for some other reason. Unlike a lot of other similar software, YuZu is easy to use, runs exceptionally well, and has just about everything you could ever want from a piece of software of this kind.
A minor issue that people will often come across while using YuZu though is that some games don’t automatically appear in your library. Even if all the files for the game are in working order the games just don’t appear in your YuZu library. Thankfully, this is a quick and easy fix but one most people don’t think to check after the initial setup process. If you’re new to YuZu entirely, make sure you check out some of our other guides linked at the bottom of this article.
