Nintendo has been rolling out a string of updates to the Switch in recent days – and this time it's back with firmware 20.1.1. This minor update mainly addresses issues and inconsistencies players encountered with Nintendo Switch System Update 20.1.0. Here's everything we know about the changes.
Nintendo Switch updates have been arriving at a fast pace lately. And for good reason: the arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2 is imminent, and the current interface had to be adapted to all the upcoming new features, including the new sharing options. This led to the major Nintendo Switch System Update 20.0.0, which brought quite a few new features.
However, in the meantime, some players encountered an error message making installation impossible on their unit. This prompted the company's developers to react quickly, as in just 24 hours, a corrective update 20.1.0 was offered to Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, and Nintendo Switch OLED customers. The new update 20.1.1 this time aims to fix another bug affecting some Nintendo Switch owners.
What are the release notes for Nintendo Switch update 20.1.1?
Because despite the disappearance of the error message, some players found themselves unable to launch certain games. A bug in the source code is apparently the cause of this problem, which can make the experience of affected users somewhat frustrating. But here again, Nintendo has not let them down with this Nintendo Switch firmware 20.1.1, which arrives only a few days after the first reports of the problem by players.
As a result, as the increment after the second point of the release notes already suggests, we now have rather terse release notes (translated from English):
- Fixes an issue preventing certain software from starting after the system has been updated to version 20.1.0
What actually changes after installation is that the console becomes fully functional again for everyone. Subject to the discovery of new bugs by players, of course. Installing this Nintendo Switch update is very simple. Go to System Settings and select Update. Make sure you have a stable internet connection throughout the installation process.
