It's a debug overlay, you need to set up a key combination to open the debug menu on the switch and then activate it: https://wiki.factorio.com/Map_structure ... ks_in-game.

As Loewchen said, you need to set up a key combination to access the debug menu. Go to Settings -> Controls and scroll to the very bottom to the debug category. Set a keybinding for "Toggle debug settings GUI", for example I used ZR & ZL & +. Now you can use that keybinding in-game to open the debug menu and check the "show-tile-grid" checkbox.
