Topic: Playtime Question

I'm about to do a factory reset, my question is this: Will I lose all of the gaming time I've accumulated playing my games??

@PacMang I've never done a full factory reset myself, but I believe you will for any game that doesn't support the cloud. I am curious, why do you need to do a factory reset?

I think it's tied to your account and, perhaps, the Parental Controls app.

Your playtime is tied to your NNID/user account, so you shouldn't lose it if you factory-reset your console. I have a Switch Lite that I use as a secondary console and my play data displays the same hours as my main Switch (at least once it's been updated online).

Factory Resets wipe clean anything on the Switch and stored saved games. And you have to redo all your User settings. Your NIN online will be there but if you didn't upload to NIN Cloud anything on the internals storage is gone.
