One Nintendo Switch, regardless of wired and wireless, can access 8 controllers at the same time. In the specific game, the number of players is determined by the content and mode. The left and right Joy-cons are counted as two controllers separately. So when it is used in pairs, the actual number of players will decrease. For example, in the picture below, 8 controllers are fully connected, and the actual number of players is 7. If everyone uses the paired Joy-con, the actual number of players is only 4.
