CONTROL Ultimate Edition (Cloud Version) uses cloud-based saves stored by the game’s streaming service, not by the Nintendo Switch Online cloud save feature. However, verifying your Nintendo Account ensures your progress and access remain linked correctly.
Steps to Verify Your Nintendo Account
Go to the HOME Menu.
Select your user profile icon in the upper-left corner.Open User Settings → Linked Accounts.
Verify that your Nintendo Account is correctly linked.Confirm You’re Signed In.
If prompted, sign in using the same account used to purchase or redeem CONTROL Ultimate Edition (Cloud Version).Check Your Account Region (Optional).
Ensure your Nintendo Account region matches your eShop region. Region mismatches can prevent access to purchased or redeemed titles.
Verifying Cloud Save or Progress
Launch the Game.
Start CONTROL Ultimate Edition from the HOME Menu.Confirm Connection to the Cloud Service.
Upon launch, the game automatically connects to the streaming server. If your account is properly verified, your saved progress will load automatically.If Your Save Data Does Not Load:
Ensure your console is connected to the internet.
Confirm that you are signed in with the correct Nintendo Account.
Restart your console and relaunch the game.
Important Notes
CONTROL Ultimate Edition (Cloud Version) does not use Nintendo Switch Online’s save data backup system.
Your progress is automatically synced to the game’s cloud service, tied to your Nintendo Account credentials.
You do not need an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription to save or restore progress in the cloud version.
If your Nintendo Account becomes unlinked or you switch consoles, your data remains on the cloud servers as long as you sign back in with the same account.
Troubleshooting Steps
If your save data doesn’t appear after verifying your account:
Restart the console and relaunch the game.
Confirm your Nintendo Account login credentials.
Check your internet connection and re-test it through System Settings → Internet → Test Connection.
