How to move your games and saves to a new console
Your games and saves are linked to your account, not the console itself. Sign into your new console with the same account you used on the old one and your games will be there. Games you bought as downloads will show in your library.
When you buy digital games, they're tied to your account forever. Your game saves are stored in the cloud on Xbox and PlayStation, so they come with you automatically. Nintendo Switch stores saves on the console itself, so you need to transfer them. Setting up a new console is straightforward — sign in with your account, download your games, and you're back where you left off.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.

- Not signing in with the correct account — your games are linked to the account that bought them

Signs you need professional help

- Game saves won't transfer and it's been more than an hour since you set up the console
