Nintendo Switch, Switch 2 Update 21.1.0 Released
Nintendo has released Switch 2 update 21.1.0, which is available to download now worldwide. This is another minor system update that doesn’t really add anything new for players.
Given we’re almost at the end of 2025, don’t expect another system update to be released anytime soon, especially if it’s one that’s aimed at adding new features.
For those still playing on the original Switch, the firmware is also available for that console as well.

According to Nintendo, the Switch/ Switch 2 update released on December 8 (December 9 for those outside the US), is for the following:
- General system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience.
Note that both consoles’ patch notes are the same, which is par for the course most of the time.
That’s to be expected, as these security fixes are almost always marked as this one. The latest system update we saw before this was two weeks ago, which means this is a rather quick follow-up.
In other news related to the Switch 2, Sony announced a Japan-only PS5 and this is to counter Nintendo’s dominance in its homeland.
Once another system update is out, expect it here on MP1st.
