Nintendo has finally launched its highly anticipated annual wrap-up for the Switch, allowing players across the UK to delve into their personal gaming statistics for 2025. The Nintendo Switch Year In Review 2025 went live on January 14, 2026, offering a detailed breakdown of last year's play habits.
This year's release arrived a month later than usual, following Nintendo's confirmation that the 2025 review would be delayed until January 2026. The wait, however, comes with a significant bonus feature not seen in previous years.
How To Access Your Personal Gaming Stats
To view your personalised Year In Review, you must first ensure your Nintendo Account settings are correctly configured. You need to have allowed the collection of 'optional device data' within your account settings. Once this is enabled, you can access your full statistics by visiting the official Nintendo Year In Review page through a web browser and logging in.
The comprehensive wrap-up provides a wealth of data, including your most-played games of 2025, a breakdown of your favourite genres, and a monthly overview of the hours you spent playing. It also tracks how many new titles you tried across both the original Nintendo Switch and the newer Switch 2 console.
A Blast From The Past: Your Full Switch History
The standout feature for 2025's review is the ability to look back through time. By scrolling to the bottom of your 2025 stats and continuing downwards, the tool unlocks a historical view of your gaming activity across the entire lifespan of the Nintendo Switch console.
This means players can revisit their playtime data all the way back to the system's launch in March 2017, a period dominated for many by titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It offers a nostalgic journey through your complete Switch gaming history.
For example, the article's author reported a lighter year than expected, playing 31 games across 133 hours. This pales in comparison to figures shared by industry figures like Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of Super Smash Bros., who logged a staggering 154 games and 252 hours of playtime in 2025 alone.
Nintendo and Sony Wrap Up, But Xbox Is Absent
With this launch, both Nintendo and Sony have now released their 2025 gaming wrap-ups for players. Sony's PlayStation 2025 Wrap-Up debuted in December 2025.
Notably, Microsoft's Xbox has not provided a similar tool for its users this year. Reports suggest that plans for an Xbox 2025 Year In Review were scrapped due to a reduced marketing budget, with resources being prioritised for 2026 initiatives instead.
The Nintendo Switch Year In Review remains a popular annual tradition, giving gamers in the UK and worldwide unique insight into their digital hobbies and a chance to reflect on their virtual adventures over the past year and beyond.
