Overview
- Nintendo deployed patch v1.1.1 on Friday to deliver the game's first post-launch fixes and usability improvements following Splatoon Raiders' late-July release.
- The headline change makes releasing a tank’s limiter work with a single A-button press instead of a long hold, addressing widespread player confusion over the menu interaction.
- The patch repairs multiple gameplay bugs, including an Emergency Damage Up interaction with the Splatchet’s Explosive Steps and a case that could stop player movement after a Squid Roll from a wall.
- Level-specific fixes cover a Fish Stick that could move into terrain in Soyu Cliffs and an Exploration Bot in HOPPING that could stop attacking Salmonids, and it also fixes a crash triggered by tapping the Nintendo Switch 2 touchscreen.
- The update is stability- and quality-of-life focused rather than content-driven, reflecting rapid post-launch iteration after a pre-launch v1.1.0 tweak and the strong early reception of the game.
