Nintendo Switch Play Activity

Last week, the Nintendo Switch celebrated its 1st Anniversary, and many players found out that their Play Activity for launch games had been reset. Nintendo quickly made a statement over on Twitter, confirming that they were looking into this particular issue, and that they would have further details to share soon.

And yesterday, Nintendo shared some additional details, and confirmed that the bug only affected how the Play Activity info is displayed: recording still works perfectly fine and accurately in the background (in other words: nothing has been reset!). The company also confirmed that this issue would be solved in a future system update, but didn’t specify when that update will be released.
