Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, Nintendo Switch - OLED Model
Information for when, after transferring a save data file from your Nintendo Switch to a nearby Nintendo Switch console, the save data file is not present on the target console.
Important: Once the save data transfer is completed, the save data file on the source console is deleted.
Before you start
You will need:
- Your source Nintendo Switch console
- Your target Nintendo Switch console
Possible solutions
- On the target console, search in your Data Management for the correct user whose save data file you selected to transfer. If there are multiple users on the target console, each one may have their own save file for each game.
- On the source console, search for the save file. If the save data transfer was not completed, or if it was interrupted, the save file may still be present on the source console. If it is available, try the transfer process again.
Additional information
- Save data is transferred per software title and per user.
- You cannot transfer multiple save files at once.
