Nintendo Switch Sports update 1.2.3

The second Nintendo Switch Sports update of the week has now gone live, and distribution of version 1.2.3 has started.

For those that aren’t keeping up with the situation, Nintendo’s patches this week are intended to address issues that started with version 1.2.1. With that update, cheaters were primarily being targeted. However, some players ended up encountering crashing issues once version 1.2.1 was installed.
