Console guides

These guides answer the questions that come with owning a Nintendo Switch 2, PS5 or Xbox: how to move your games and saves, which storage you need, what a version or edition includes, and how to reach new content in a game. Each one is built from the platform holders' and publishers' own support pages plus named reviewers, and it dates the facts that change.

Moving to a new console or version: the Switch to Switch 2 transfer guide explains which method moves which saves, and some saves leave the old console for good. The Witcher 3 Remastered guides cover carrying an old save over, which CD Projekt Red says loads with skills reset, and who gets the free upgrade.

Storage and game formats: according to Nintendo, the Switch 2 only runs games from microSD Express cards, and a game-key card still downloads the whole game. The game card guide compares physical game cards, game-key cards and virtual game cards side by side.

What a version includes and how to reach it: what EA FC 27 on Switch 2 lacks next to other versions, how to claim digital licenses for Xbox discs, how Xbox Mythic Achievements work, how to start the Ghost of Yōtei DLC and how to enter Minecraft's Sift.
