Nintendo has confirmed that its highly anticipated 'Year in Review' report, gathering personal Nintendo Switch play statistics, will be delivered to users in January 2025.
The Year in Review is a recurring annual feature that summarizes players’ gaming activity across the year, such as hours played, most-played titles, and other achievements, making it a highlight for fans eager to reflect on their gaming journey. Breaking from its previous December release tradition, Nintendo announced in December 2024 that the 2025 Year in Review would be postponed until January.
While the company has not provided a specific release date, many expect the latest round-up to be distributed within the next week, aligning with the start of the new calendar year and allowing for the inclusion of holiday playtime. Ahead of the release, Nintendo urges users to double-check their Nintendo Account settings to ensure they receive their personalized summary.
According to guidance on the official Nintendo website, it is essential to allow the collection and processing of device use and gameplay data.
The updated requirements are as follows: - Access the Nintendo Account 'Privacy and Other Settings' page via a web browser. - Enable 'Allow Nintendo to collect optional device data on Nintendo consoles that you use.' - Enable 'Allow Nintendo to process your usage information to customise services, offers and recommendations.' - Confirm your selections with the on-screen button. Only accounts with these permissions enabled will receive the Year in Review email and report.
Nintendo has clarified that users may still opt out of marketing or promotional emails separately, without impacting their eligibility for the annual gaming stats summary. The decision to deliver this year’s review post-holiday stands out in the industry, where year-end summaries and Game of the Year announcements often arrive before the holidays.
Nintendo’s timing means players’ late December gaming sessions—typically some of the most active—will be fully reflected, promising a more accurate recap for Nintendo Switch users. The Nintendo Switch continues to be a dominant platform, and features like the Year in Review enhance engagement by celebrating player milestones.
To avoid disappointment, Switch owners should update their Nintendo Account settings now for a chance to see, share, and celebrate their 2025 stats as soon as the Year in Review goes live.
