Nintendo Releases Switch Firmware 21.0.1 With Transfer and Bluetooth Fixes

The maintenance release addresses regressions from version 21.0.0 with targeted fixes only.

Overview

  • Update 21.0.1 is now live for both Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Switch after this month's feature update.
  • Nintendo patched repeated local transfer failures by fixing error codes 2011-0301 and 2168-0002 during Switch-to–Switch 2 migration.
  • On Switch 2, a bug that blocked wireless controllers or Bluetooth audio from reconnecting after Sleep Mode or Airplane Mode was resolved.
  • Both systems received general stability improvements with no new user-facing features.
  • Outlets note prior 21.0.0 changes coincided with some game issues on Switch 2, and at least one expects no major system updates for the rest of the year.
