Switch game saves are stored on the console and can’t be transferred for now
Posted on March 2, 2017 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch
All game saves for Switch are directly stored on the console. Saves can’t be recorded on a microSD card, and it seems that they can’t be transferred in any way – at least for now. So if you were to purchase a new Switch for whatever reason, your saves will be stuck on the original device.
As for downloading games and taking screenshots, these can be moved freely between the system and microSD card. This can be accomplished in the Data Management menu.
