Animal Crossing: New Horizons Island Transfer Tool

Nintendo Switch

Transfer your Animal Crossing: New Horizons island to another Nintendo Switch Console.

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, a single island (save data file) is created per Nintendo Switch console, and all users on the console share that island. Since save data for all players is stored together in the console's save data, it isn't possible to transfer Animal Crossing: New Horizons save data to another console using the console's "Transfer Your User" or "Transfer Your Save Data" features. However, via the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Island Transfer Tool, it's possible to transfer your current island to another Nintendo Switch console. To use the service, please consult the Island Transfer Tool page on the Nintendo Support website and follow the instructions. *When using this service, you should transfer all users who play Animal Crossing: New Horizons on the original console to the new console, then download the Island Transfer Tool on both consoles. For more information about transferring users, please consult the "How to Transfer Your User Data" page on the Nintendo Support website. *When the island transfer is complete, the Animal Crossing: New Horizons save data will be deleted from the original console. *When transferring a specific resident only (excluding the player designated as "Resident Representative"), it isn't necessary to download the Island Transfer Tool on the target console. If you want to transfer only a specific resident (other than the Resident Representative), please consult the relevant page on the Nintendo Support website and follow the instructions.
