Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch update 21.0.1 out now, patch notes

Heads up for Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch owners as a new firmware update, version 21.0.1, has now been released.

This seems to be about improving things from the last update. Version 21.0.0 came out earlier in the month and brought about some new features. However, it did also break some things in the process. Nintendo specifically addressed a couple of error codes with local system transfers as well as an issue involving wireless controllers/Bluetooth audio devices specifically on Switch 2.

Also, as you may recall, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond / Shining Pearl and Crypt of the NecroDancer were among the games we were hearing about having issues on Nintendo Switch 2 following the update. We’ll have to wait and see if there are reports of these titles now having been fixed with version 21.0.1.

Below is the full notice for today’s update:
