Switch update out now (version 13.2.0)

The latest Switch system update, version 13.2.0, is now available.

Note that there is no new functionality this time around. Nintendo’s patch notes simply state: “General system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience.” Specifics regarding these improvements were not provided.

Prior to today, the last Switch update came at the end of October. That added support for the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. If you subscribe to the service, you’ll gain access to N64 and SEGA Genesis games on Switch, though some have been vocal about issues they have with the classics. Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack also allows Animal Crossing: New Horizons players to gain access to the Happy Home Paradise DLC.

All Switch owners should eventually have the 13.2.0 update downloaded automatically. You can also force the firmware installation now by going over to system settings, scrolling down to “System”, and finally “System Update”. Your Switch unit will then do all of the rest.
