Christmas is cool, but something almost as grand is the gift of knowing how much time you've spent gaming this year, courtesy of the Nintendo Switch Year in Review for 2024, also known as "Nintendo Wrapped".

Anyone who's taken part in similar features like Spotify Wrapped, or the other Year in Review gaming equivalents on Xbox, PlayStation and Steam, will know just how this works.

Taking a look back on your 2024, the Nintendo Switch Year in Review scans and reveals personalised stats of what you've played this year and for how long, even revealing specific findings like your most-played genre and busiest month.

Speaking of music with Spotify Wrapped, there's also a YouTube Music recap you can take part in. There's a Twitch recap you can try, too.

So, here's how you can rewind the clock and check out the recap of your 2024 through the Nintendo Switch Year in Review.

Is Nintedo's Year in Review out yet?

Yes, the Nintendo Switch Year in Review is available to access right now as a Christmas treat for Nintendo fans.

It was launched on Wednesday 18th December 2024, on-trend with the late December window when the company has released it in previous years.

It's a comprehensive overview of your habits this year, and if rumours are to be believed, next year we may all be playing on the Switch 2, so this could be the Switch's send-off.
