Check out how many hours you spent on Nintendo Switch in 2025 through the Year In Review, along with your most-played games.

Sony may have launched its 2025 Wrap-Up in December, but we’ve had to wait longer than usual for the equivalent on Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo previously confirmed its annual Year In Review for 2025 wouldn’t be released until January 2026, a month later than usual. Thankfully, the day of stats has finally arrived, and it doesn’t just encompass 2025.

This year’s wrap-up allows you to travel back in time to see your most-played games across the Switch’s entire lifespan. For us, this goes back to the console’s launch in 2017, when everyone was consumed by The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild.

How to access your Nintendo Year In Review 2025

To access your statistics, you first have to ensure the appropriate settings are switched on. Nintendo highlighted this before releasing the Year In Review, but you can find instructions here. This involves heading into your Nintendo Account settings and allowing the collection of ‘optional device data’.

Once you’re set, the Nintendo Year In Review for 2025 is available here. You just have to log-in to your Nintendo Account through a browser and scroll down to see your statistics.

The wrap-up covers your most-played games (shout out to the bafflingly long Mario & Luigi: Brothership), what genres you played the most, a monthly breakdown of hours played, and how many new games you played across the year, across Switch and Switch 2.

If you head to the very bottom and keep scrolling downwards, the tool will roll back the clock to the hours you’ve spent on the Switch in years prior.

My personal Year In Review was lighter than expected, with 31 games played across 133 hours. I’m no match for Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai, who clocked a staggering 154 games across 252 hours and still managed to knock out Kirby Air Riders in the interim.

Sony and Nintendo have now both launched their wrap-ups for 2025, but there’s been no such tool from Xbox. According to reports, Microsoft ditched its plans to do a 2025 Year In Review because its ‘marketing budget’ had been decreased to prepare for 2026.
