Nintendo Schedules Maintenance Updates for Switch Services

Nintendo just shared a new maintenance schedule that impacts several core features on the Nintendo Switch. Players should expect some downtime for Nintendo Switch Online services, save data transfers, system transfers, and specific parts of the eShop. If you are planning a long gaming session, it is a good idea to check these times beforehand.

The first round of maintenance is set for September 27. This session will affect Nintendo Switch Online features accessible through the Home Menu. It will run from 6 PM to 9:30 PM PT, which translates to early morning on September 28 for fans in the UK and Europe.

Following that, the company plans to hold a separate one hour session specifically for save data and system transfers. These updates are a standard part of keeping the platform running smoothly, but they do mean you will temporarily lose access to those specific functions during the maintenance windows.

Keep an eye on the official network status page for any last minute changes or updates to the schedule. It is always best to ensure your progress is saved locally before these maintenance periods begin.
