Nintendo Releases Switch and Switch 2 Firmware 21.0.1 With Transfer and Bluetooth Fixes

The maintenance update targets regressions reported after version 21.0.0.

Overview

  • Nintendo began rolling out version 21.0.1 on November 24, 2025, for both Switch and Switch 2.
  • The patch fixes repeated local system‑transfer failures that triggered Error Codes 2011-0301 and 2168-0002 when moving data from a Switch to a Switch 2.
  • On Switch 2, it resolves cases where wireless controllers or Bluetooth audio devices would not reconnect after Sleep Mode or turning off Airplane Mode.
  • The release includes general system stability improvements with no new user‑facing features.
  • It remains unconfirmed whether game-specific issues reported after 21.0.0, including Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl and Crypt of the NecroDancer on Switch 2, are resolved.
