Switch firmware version 13.0.0 comes with controller update
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
As part of the new version 13.0.0 firmware for Switch, Nintendo is offering the latest controller update. It can be done by accessing the system settings, going to the “Controllers and Sensors” tab, and then selecting the “Update Controllers” option. Note that if multiple controllers are paired to your Switch, the firmware will be updated one controller at a time.
Strangely enough, we’ve never actually received clarification from Nintendo as to what the Switch controller update actually does. There’s really no harm in doing so though and the whole process only takes a few seconds.
