A new firmware update for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 platforms has today been released around the globe. While Nintendo has clearly shifted to prioritizing its support for the Switch 2, it still hasn\u2019t stopped when it comes to new updates for the original Switch. Now, this has resulted in another patch for both platforms being pushed out, but sadly, the update doesn\u2019t do a whole lot. <\/p>\n
Downloadable right now, update version 22.1.0 for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 is a very small one. Rather than making any major overhauls to either console, this patch merely looks to provide \u201cgeneral system stability improvements to enhance the user\u2019s experience.\u201d Patches like this have come about dozens of times across various Nintendo platforms, so it\u2019s not surprising to see that it\u2019s once again the case here with today\u2019s update. Still, for those looking for larger changes to have been made to either Nintendo platform, there\u2019s nothing of the sort to be found this time around. <\/p>\n
In all likelihood, the reason that this new Switch and Switch 2 update is so small is because it\u2019s merely looking to make some minor tweaks to the hardware in the wake of last month\u2019s much more substantial patch. Specifically, on Switch 2, Nintendo released a new feature that greatly improved the performance of Switch 1 games on the console when played in handheld mode. Pushing out an update with a substantial new feature likely introduced some minor bugs to the Switch 2 as well, which Nintendo has now looked to resolve with today\u2019s patch. <\/p>\n
Moving forward, we\u2019ll undoubtedly get plenty of additional Switch and Switch 2 updates throughout 2026. For Switch 1 users, most of these updates will likely remain pretty small as Nintendo will only continue to further move away from its previous console as time continues onward. Switch 2, on the other hand, could be due to receive some much more important firmware updates in the months ahead, although Nintendo has yet to outline what other substantial features it could be looking to bring to the hardware next. <\/p>\n
