Topic: Save files inquiry

Posts 1 to 2 of 2

Looked around and couldn't find an answer. So I download some of my games and recently I wanted to actually have the actual game cartridge to collect, and as a completionist, my save files are all 100%. My question is if I already downloaded the game and insert the game cartridge, will the save file transfer over to the cartridge or will I have to 100% my games again. I want to know before I commit to buying the hard copy.

The save file is always on your Switch (and in the cloud if you have NSO). Usually if both the eShop and physical game are the same 'build', the save game will be used by both versions of the game so you don't have to start over. It could be different when you buy an 'ultimate edition' of a game of which you previously played the regular edition digitally (e.g. Mario+Rabbids), because technically that could be designed as a different game.
