US EditionHow to Transfer Switch Data to Switch 2
- Nintendo released the Nintendo Switch 2, which offers improved graphics, new mouse controls, and the ability to transfer data from the original Switch as of June 2025.
- The data transfer became important due to the Switch 2's greater storage and the need to keep profiles, digital games, and save data, while some transfer methods varied in success.
- Users require both consoles, a stable internet connection, AC adapters from each device, and the same Nintendo Account to perform the transfer, which may take around 30 minutes depending on data size.
- The system transfer includes digital games, save files, user profiles, screenshots, videos, and parental controls, although some parental controls must be set manually, and save data can also transfer wirelessly or via Nintendo servers.
- This transfer enables users to access the full digital library on Switch 2 and prepares them for upcoming exclusive games like The Duskbloods, highlighting the Switch 2’s enhanced capabilities and future game support.
