Star Wars: Hunters launched on 4th June for Nintendo Switch and mobile and those who want to play on both devices might be wondering if it's possible to enable cross-progression between the two.
Well, rejoice! Star Wars: Hunters does have cross-progression and linking your devices is a relatively straightforward process — once you know where to look.
In this guide, we'll show you how to link your Star Wars: Hunters account on Switch and mobile.
Star Wars: Hunters - How To Link Your Account
The method of linking your Star Wars: Hunters account varies based on whether you started your Switch progress using the Nintendo Account login or the Apple/Google/email login.
We will run through them both here.
How to link your Star Wars: Hunters account via Apple/Google/email
If you started your Star Wars: Hunters account on one platform with Apple, Google or your email, linking your progress to another device is simple.
When you first download Star Wars: Hunters, you will see a login prompt that lets you sign in using Apple, Google or email. Simply select the account icon you used on Switch and follow the instructions to link your accounts (linking an email account will require you to verify the details with a six-digit code sent via email).
If you have already signed in on your second platform using another account, you can still link your progress. Select Settings from the top right corner of the Hunters home menu (easily accessed by pressing '+' on Switch) and navigate to the 'Account' tab. Select 'Link/Update Account' and enter the details of the account you want to carry over.
How to link your Star Wars: Hunters account via Nintendo
If you started your Switch progress using a Nintendo account and want to carry it over to mobile, there is one extra step that you have to do first (but don't worry, it's still simple enough).
Since logging in with a Nintendo account is not an option on mobile, you will first have to connect an Apple/Google account or an email address to your Switch.
To do this, press '+' on the Star Wars: Hunters main menu and select Settings. Go to the 'Account' tab on the far right and select 'Link your Account'. Choose an Apple, Google or email login and follow the steps to add it to your Switch progress.
Then, use the Apple/Google/email information that you just entered on mobile to access your Switch progression on another device.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to make an account to play Star Wars: Hunters?
No, you do not need to make an account to play Star Wars: Hunters.
If you choose not to enter an email address or link a Google/Apple account to your game, you can still play as a Guest. Players with a Guest Account cannot access their profile or have cross-progression on multiple devices.
Does Star Wars: Hunters have cross-play?
Yes, Star Wars: Hunters does use cross-play so you can play against players on Switch and mobile.
Does my Star Wars: Hunters Arena Pass work on Switch and mobile?
As long as your account is linked between devices, you only need one Arena Pass per Star Wars: Hunters account. All progression is shared between the linked devices including Hunter unlocks, account level and Arena Pass rewards.
Your accounts should now be as linked as a Force dyad. Check out our other Star Wars: Hunters guides for more tips and hints.

Hi. I'm in a situation where I first played this game on my Google Pixel. Meaning I logged in as my Gmail account. Note - My Nintendo account is linked to my Gmail account.
I downloaded the game on my Switch, and logged in as my Nintendo account, expecting the two to be connected. But no!
I've tried to find this "link account" feature in the game, on Switch and it doesn't exist. I've tried using another option, which appears to give a choice to "login with Gmail" and when doing so, provides a QR code to scan, and you then enter a code on the developer's website, but that fails.
I tried to simply log in with my gmail account, and when pressing submit, the entire UI freezes up and you have to kill the game.
I've deleted my game saves locally and on the server, for the game, yet it still loads up into this "Nintendo account" version. I can see no way to pull in my Gmail progress.
You can't simply log out and back into the game, as you can on the mobile version. I could just keep playing, but it's a waste of progress really.
I have the same problem.
Im using my Apple id account on iPad. When i logged into my switch first time, i didnt use Apple id. But now im trying to link accounts. If i try to enter my email that is used on iPad, it just feezes and i have to restart the game on switch. If i try to link through Apple id, i just Get the message that there is an account conflict on zynga. 🤔
