It’s Nintendo Switch maintenance time! You knew it had to happen eventually, amid other unplanned shutdowns.

Nintendo has posted an update on their official site, detailing the dates and times for everything they need to go done this week. The big one is “network services,” which starts today, January 10, at 6:00PM PT through 7:00PM PT. Keep that in mind tonight if you plan on playing something, as “network services may be unavailable” during that window, according to Nintendo.

Next up is another set of windows on January 12, starting at 8:30PM PT, running through 12:00AM PT during the late night of January 13. These range from save data transfer to more network service maintenance.
