Overview
- Nintendo published system software version 22.5.0 for both the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 on June 15, 2026, and the update is rolling out now through system settings.
- Switch 2 gains Dutch and Russian support for Text‑to‑Speech and the Change Speech ⇔ Text during GameChat accessibility features, widening language access for non‑English users.
- The original Switch receives a redesigned Nintendo eShop layout that will follow the system’s Basic Dark theme color to better match the console UI.
- The Switch adds ZL and ZR controls to rewind or advance video by 10 seconds in full‑screen News and eShop videos and introduces a User‑Verification PIN for accessing the eShop and using saved payment methods.
- Both consoles include general system stability improvements, continuing Nintendo’s pattern of incremental firmware updates since the Switch 2’s larger March update that added Handheld Boost Mode.
