How to Save and Exit Minecraft on Nintendo Switch
Last updated
Ever found yourself deep in a Minecraft session on your Nintendo Switch and wondered how to properly save and exit? You’re not alone! This common question has a straightforward answer that every Nintendo Switch player should know.
So, how does one save and exit Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch? Let’s dive into the details and ensure your blocky adventures never face an unexpected end.
Quick Guide: Saving and Exiting Minecraft on Your Switch
Saving your game in Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch is pretty simple. First, press the ‘+’ button on your Switch to bring up the game menu. From there, you’ll see an option to ‘Save Game.’ Select this, and your current game will be saved. To exit the game, you can then press the ‘Home’ button on your Switch, followed by ‘X’ to close the game completely. This process ensures that all your progress is saved properly before exiting.
It’s important to remember to save often, especially after major achievements or during long play sessions. Minecraft doesn’t auto-save as frequently as some other games, so manually saving ensures that your progress is secure.
