Nintendo has published its maintenance schedule for the week of August 23, 2026, confirming planned service windows that will affect Nintendo Switch data-transfer operations.
The company flagged two sessions specifically related to moving user profiles and transferring save data between systems.
These maintenance windows are relevant to players who plan to use the console’s system settings to migrate accounts or move save files.
At present, Nintendo lists two maintenance activities for the week — both focused on data transfers.
In plain terms, the company said the planned sessions will impact the Switch features used to transfer user data and to transfer save data.
Nintendo also noted that additional sessions could be added to the schedule later in the week and advised users to monitor official notices for updates.
Rewritten company guidance: Nintendo advised users that both scheduled sessions concern data-transfer functions on Nintendo Switch and recommended checking official maintenance pages for any additions or timing changes.
