With  just a few days to go before the Switch 2 is out, Nintendo is hard at work on making sure the original Switch syncs up. Today, the company released the Switch update 20.1.1 file download, and this is a small patch that fixes a major issues.

Switch System Update for June 2 Fixes Games Not Starting Bug

Nintendo Switch system Update 18.0.0

Here’s what’s new per Nintendo:

Ver. 20.1.1 (Released June 2, 2025)

  • Fixed an issue where some software would not start after updating to system version 20.1.0.

Performing the system update

In most situations, the Nintendo Switch will automatically download the most recent system update while it is connected online. You can verify your current menu version and manually start the update from the System Settings menu if necessary.

That’s about it. Given we are about to get the new version of the console, I’m not expecting a lot of updates to be released outside of stability and performance improvements. If we spot any new changes or new technical fixes from this patch, we’ll update the article with more info./

The Nintendo Switch 2 will be released on June 5, and you can check its launch lineup to see if there’s something that interests you.
