If you’re horrified by the idea of your Nintendo Switch game saves stored on Nintendo servers being deleted because you forgot to re-up your Nintendo Switch Online subscription, you can calm down now. Nintendo has recently clarified its stance on maintaining cloud saves following a lapse in account subscription, saying it will maintain that data for six months.

The news should come with a sigh of relief for many a Nintendo Switch fan, as up until now it was widely assumed that game saves stored on Nintendo’s cloud servers would be deleted immediately following a lapse in payment, judging by Nintendo’s UK FAQ page on the matter.
