Nintendo repeats that the function to save progress in the cloud will be through Nintendo Switch Online, but without a date yet determined.
With just a few days to go until the premiere of Animal Crossing: New Horizons on the Nintendo Switch, the user community is hoping to grab the first major installment in seven years and escape reality at an extremely unusual time in society. One of the points still to be defined is the one that concerns the saving of games in the cloud, a function that will not be available this March 20, but will be available sometime in 2020.
Nintendo has already warned that it would not be possible to support our progress through the online servers of the subscription service Nintendo Switch Online at first, although it would be possible in the future in the event of a console breakdown, theft or loss. Now, the official website of Animal Crossing: New Horizons in Spanish includes a section as a note where information about the saved data is reported.
“This game does not support the Nintendo Switch Online cloud data saving feature. However, this year later it will be possible for subscribers of the Nintendo Switch Online service to retrieve the save data of Animal Crossing: New Horizons from the server in case of failure, theft or loss of the console, "the statement said. We know, at least, that this possibility will come in 2020.

You can also transfer games between Nintendo Switch consoles
Another feature that will not be available at launch but later is the possibility of transferring the game between several Nintendo Switch, something that affects those who have more than one console (for example, a standard model and another Lite) or those who are going to change console in the future for whatever reason.
It is necessary to wait, then: “Currently, this game does not allow the transfer of save data from one Nintendo Switch console to another. However, a specific feature for Animal Crossing: New Horizons is planned to be launched this year, allowing users and save data to be transferred from one console to another.
As soon as we have news about it we will let you know on FreeGameTips. Animal Crossing: New Horizons launches this March 20 exclusively for Nintendo Switch. We invite you to read our review of the game this week.
