Originally released on other platforms, Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel is now available on mobile devices as well. Luckily, Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel has a Cross-save feature, where the game's progress will be carried over multiple platforms. This way, duelists can play with their existing decks instead of having to grind for Gems all over again.
However, the process is a little unclear, so if players are confused about how to utilize the Cross-save feature, here’s how to link Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel account on different platforms.
Updated on July 25th, 2023 by Hodey Johns: Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duelis still a popular title even after some time out and, like many titles with huge fanbases, there are still gamers that want to make sure they can play the title from their most convenient devices. This article did answer that questions but gave every step in one body of text. The process is now broken into two steps: uploading the data on the main platform and retrieving that data on the other platform. The directions are all now bulleted at the beginning of each section so gamers won't have to hunt through the paragraphs to find the information they need. Readers who want to know more details can still read about the process if they choose to.
Upload The Data On The Primary Platform
- Open Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel on the primary platform.
- Press on the Submenu (top-right of the main menu).
- Scroll down and press Data Transfer. It will open a page to Transfer data "to" other game consoles.
- Save the data on a Konami ID.
Only do this process on the primary platform. Doing it on the secondary platform will overwrite the progress made on the primary platform.
For players that previously built up the best warrior deck and don't want to go through it again, they should link their accounts via Konami ID, then log in on the other platform to link the account. To link the account, open Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel on the primary platform. Then, press on the Submenu located on the top-right of the main menu. After that, scroll down and press Data Transfer. It will open a page to Transfer data to other game consoles.
Advancing to the transfer page, players can press on Data Link via Konami ID. It will take them to the Konami website, where they can either use their Konami ID or create one, then log in. Having all this progress saved will be handy when a new game mode pops up.
Load The Data On A Secondary Platform
- Before entering the game, when it asks players to press anything to advance to the main menu, press the Setting Menu (bottom-right corner).
- Choose Data Transfer. It will open a page to Transfer game data "from" another device.
- Press on Data Link via Konami ID. Load the previously saved data.
This will erase any progress made on the secondary platform and replace it with the progress on the primary platform. Gamers who want to have two different games should not complete this process.
After linking their old data to a Konami ID, duelists can now open Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel on their secondary platform. Before entering the game, when it asks players to press anything to advance to the main menu, they can select the Setting Menu. It's a button with three dashes (hamburger menu), located in the bottom-right corner. Then, choose Data Transfer. It will open a page to Transfer game data from another device.
After reaching the Transfer data 'from' page, players should press on Data Link via Konami ID. It will take them to the Konami website, where they can insert the same email and password used to save the main account. Doing so will erase all the progress of the secondary platform and replace it with their primary account data. Now if players have the best hero cards on their primary console, those cards are usable on the secondary platform as well.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel is available now for Nintendo Switch, Mobile, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
