Cross-play support is coming to Overwatch, Blizzard has announced. When active, Switch players will be able to go up against others on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. Cross-progression is not planned for launch though the team is exploring that functionality.
Players will need to create and link their Battle.net account in order to participate. Everyone who follows the steps and logs in to Overwatch by December 31, 2021 will receive a Golden Loot Box.
The Overwatch Cross-Play Beta launches soon Switch. You can check out information about how to link your Battle.net account to your console account and get your questions answered here. We also have a developer update video below.

Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo has now fully addressed the issues surrounding Switch’s latest firmware update, version 12.0.3. All system owners can access the upgrade once again.
Version 12.0.3 went live a couple of days ago. However, Nintendo temporarily pulled the update after detecting a couple of issues.
If you previously downloaded this week’s update, no further action is required. Those that have been experiencing issues with new microSDXC cards over the past couple of days simply need to connect to the internet and install version 12.0.3.

Nintendo comments on Switch version 12.0.3 update issues
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Not long after Nintendo started distribution of the new 12.0.3 firmware for Switch, the update was pulled. The company has now commented on the situation.
According to Nintendo, those that have already installed the update may experience connectivity issues in some instances. Additionally, those that attempt to use a microSDXC card for the first time will be unable to do so.
Nintendo says it is currently working to solve the issues with version 12.0.3. We’ll report back as soon as we have another status update.

Nintendo has pulled Switch update version 12.0.3
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Last night, Nintendo started distribution of a new 12.0.3 firmware update for Switch. It didn’t seem like anything too major given how the patch notes only mentioned stability improvements.
It appears that this update has since been pulled. If you didn’t download version 12.0.3 already (note that the system grabs these in the background, so it may be waiting to install for you still), there’s currently no way to access it. Never before has a similar situation happened with Switch firmware updates.
Obviously there was a reason for its removal, though it will likely be back up eventually. Without any sort of official notice from Nintendo, we can only be left to speculate why it was pulled.
