Cloud saves are coming to Nintendo Switch Online
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo is starting to share new details about the full launch of the Nintendo Switch Online service. A big highlight, not known about previously, is the addition of cloud saves.
For those who subscribe to the service, saves will be stored online. If your system breaks or you purchase a new unit, that means you’ll be able to easily regain your saves. There will be some exceptions, but it seems as though almost every title will be included.
Nintendo Switch Online will have its proper launch in September.

Expect to see it on Amazon, Google Play Music, and iTunes, among other retailers. Streaming on services like Spotify will not be included, however.
