Save Data Transfer from Splatoon 2
How save data works
Online Splatoon 3 data—like player level, ranks, items, and gear—is automatically stored in a server and connected to each player's Nintendo Account.
Since things like progress in Story Mode don't require an internet connection, they can be stored via the Save Data Cloud Backup service included in Nintendo Switch Online subscriptions.
You can also play on multiple Nintendo Switch systems if your user account is tied to your Nintendo Account.
Save data bonuses
If there's save data from Splatoon 2 on your system, part of it can be transferred to Splatoon 3. There are even some in-game rewards for doing so:
Receive three Gold Sheldon Licenses that you can exchange for main weapons, regardless of player level
Join Anarchy Battles from the beginning of the game, regardless of player level
Start the game with a higher rank, depending on your rank in Splatoon 2
Get matched against players with similar skill levels from Splatoon 2
Five out of five Squid Research Lab scientists recommend transferring data from Splatoon 2 if you have it.
