Does the Nintendo Switch have an achievement system like trophies on PlayStation or achievements on Xbox?


Has Nintendo Switch any board with progress in games?


Question from user TravelerVihaan at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

No, Switch doesn't have an achievements/trophies system like other consoles. Sadly.


You can only rely on in-game achievements.


The closest thing you can get is that some Switch porting versions from Xbox (that require a Microsoft account) can let you unlock achievements on your Xbox profile, like Minecraft and Ori and the Blind Forest.
