In 2017 Jimin was gifted a Nintendo Switch with a copy of Super Mario Odyssey by bandmate Jin! Not soon after he received a second Switch. Not needing it, he traded it off to Jungkook.

It seems the portable nature of Nintendo Switch is a perfect fit for the globetrotting K Pop stars!
BTS IN VIDEO GAMES
Being huge gamers themselves, it should come as no surprise that the band would into the idea of having a game of their own. Enter BTS World, a free to play mobile game made in association with NetMarble.
BTS World puts the player in the role of the band manager and smartly combines gachapon inspired card pull gameplay with visual novel style storytelling for a gameplay experience that is sure to please fans.
Last August the band also dropped a concept trailer for a second game, what looks like a dramatic 3D video game with magical realism elements. Little is known about the game but given its relation to the Map Of The Soul era it is suspected the game will release in 2020.
Based on the scope of the project and the ambitious art style that most developers would have a hard time making work on a phone, our best guess is that this may be a PC and or Nintendo Switch title. Perhaps a short 3D narrative game in the style of Life Is Strange?
