Transferring your hard-earned progress in Dragon City can be a concern when you switch devices or simply want to safeguard your account. While you can’t transfer your game data between different accounts, there are effective ways to ensure your progress is safely carried over when moving to a new phone or tablet. This article will guide you through the process, along with other important information regarding data management in Dragon City.
How to Transfer Your Dragon City Progress to a New Device
The key to transferring your Dragon City progress is to link your game account to either a Facebook profile, Google Play account, or Game Center account. This connection ensures your game data is backed up and can be easily restored on another device. Here’s a detailed step-by-step process:
Step 1: Connect Your Dragon City Account
Before you make any changes, make sure your current Dragon City account is connected to at least one of the methods mentioned above.
- Open Dragon City: Launch the game on your current device.
- Access Settings: Locate and tap the ‘Settings’ icon, which is typically found in the top right corner of the screen.
- Connect Your Account: In the settings menu, you will find the options to connect your account to Facebook, Google Play, or Game Center (for iOS devices). Choose your preferred method and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the linking process.
Step 2: Install Dragon City on the New Device
Now that your old account is secured, proceed with installing the game on your new device.
- Download the Game: Go to the Google Play Store (for Android) or the App Store (for iOS) and search for “Dragon City.” Install the game onto your new device.
Step 3: Login and Restore Your Progress
After installing the game, you need to log in with the same account that you previously linked your old device’s progress to.
- Open Dragon City: Launch the game on your new device.
- Login: When prompted, click on either Facebook, Google Play, or Apple ID, depending on the method you used to back up your old account.
- Continue: After logging in, the game will detect that a previous save exists, and a prompt will ask if you would like to continue from the previous login. Select “Continue” to transfer your progress. Your game data, including your dragons, islands, and levels, should now appear on your new device.
Important Notes Regarding Transfers
- No Account to Account Transfer: It’s important to remember that Dragon City does not allow transferring game data from one account to another. Your progress is tied to the Facebook, Google Play, or Game Center account you linked it to.
- Single Account Access: You can’t access your Dragon City account on two devices at the same time with the same login details.
