Posted on 4 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 0 comments
While the major content updates and balance adjustments for Splatoon 2 are done, the game is still getting some minor updates. In early October (October 10 in Japan, Australia and Europe and October 9 in North America), the game will be updated to version 5.0.1. This patch will fix two minor issues: a movement glitch with the Ultra Stamp will be resolved, and an exploit will be fixed that allows players to reach an area on Starfish Mainstage that’s supposed to inaccessible. Until version 5.0.1, Starfish Mainstage will only be available in Private Matches and will not appear in the regular multiplayer rotation, starting on September 20.
