Latest updates for Nintendo Switch

Nintendo Switch 3.0.2 Update

Nintendo Switch 3.0.0 Update

Sony and Microsoft are also improving the Xbox One and PS4 with software updates. However, unlike these consoles, Nintendo does not automatically install the latest software for users connected to its online gaming network. Instead, Nintendo Switch owners must manually install updates to avoid wasting valuable game time or trying to download an update over a very poor internet connection. nine0003

Here’s how to update your Nintendo Switch.

How to update your Nintendo Switch

To update your Nintendo Switch, you need a reliable internet connection that can download any major software update. You can, but probably shouldn’t, update your Nintendo Switch with a tethered phone. Some mobile operators limit the amount of high-speed data you can use, even on an unlimited data plan. Because Nintendo Switch software updates vary in size, a single update may use all of your data plan’s high-speed data. nine0003
