If you want to move your data to another platform (such as a Nintendo Switch, so that you can curl up on the sofa and play while watching the anime), you’ll need to create a Konami ID. To do this, go to the submenu (the three lines in the top-right corner of the main menu) and select data transfer. This will bring up a QR code that you can scan to login to or create a Konami ID. Once you have created and logged into a Konami ID, Master Duel will automatically set up cross save. Then, simply download the game and login on your other device to continue playing without starting over.
