Need to adjust the clock on your Nintendo Switch? You’re in the right place for a quick guide on setting the time just right.
Setting the Time on Your Nintendo Switch
Changing the time on your Nintendo Switch is a breeze. First, navigate to the System Settings from the home screen. Then, scroll down and select ‘System’ from the menu. Here, you’ll find the ‘Date and Time’ option. If your console is set to synchronize time via the internet, you’ll need to turn this off to manually adjust the time.
Once you’ve disabled internet synchronization, selecting ‘Date and Time’ allows you to adjust the time and date to your liking. It’s a simple process, ensuring your Nintendo Switch reflects the correct time for your time zone or personal preference. Remember to turn the synchronization back on if you prefer automatic updates in the future.
