Overview
- HOME Menu now displays symbols to show whether games are physical or digital, with added controls to receive bundled software from the eShop and to cancel all active downloads on Switch 2.
- Virtual game cards can download required data even when the Use Online License setting is turned off, enabling setup directly from the Virtual Game Cards menu.
- Transfers from Nintendo Switch to Switch 2 add options to skip redownloading software and to exclude album data, giving finer control during console migration.
- GameChat is more resilient with the game staying awake during conversations, an option to disable chat audio panning, and continuity when moving between docked wired and handheld wireless connections.
- Audio and accessibility expand with Stable or Low Latency modes for the wireless Switch 2 Pro Controller, a higher text-to-speech speed limit and Japanese keyboard TTS behavior, added Thai and Polish languages, updated charging and notification labels, and a VR quick-menu volume control.
