No, your Switch player activity data hasn’t been lost for good

Switch player activity data, recently wiped from consoles as a result of the platform’s first anniversary, isn’t lost.

Nintendo has taken to Twitter to make the confirmation, easing fans’ minds.

“Some Nintendo Switch owners’ play activity info is displaying incorrectly, but play activity is still being recorded accurately in the background,” Nintendo advised. “A future system update will resolve this issue & ensure play time data is correctly displayed. We apologize for the inconvenience.”

The assertion comes after Nintendo’s original report that the data was displaying incorrectly.

We’ll let you know when the data can once again be accessed.

Steve is the founder of Stevivor, which itself is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’ -- that made more sense back in 2001 when Steve first arrived in the country and Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.

Steve has recently gathered a career's worth of writing on swright.au, his personal portfolio.
