Nintendo Switch 2 Gets First New Firmware Update of 2026, Here’s What Changed

I just downloaded the new update, 21.2.0, for my Nintendo Switch 2, and honestly, it’s exactly what you’d expect. It doesn’t add any big new features, but it makes the system run smoother and more reliably. Nintendo’s released tons of these kinds of updates for the Switch 2 already – and even on older consoles like the original Switch and Wii U – so I’m not surprised. I’m sure we’ll see plenty more updates like this throughout the Switch 2’s lifespan, and that’s a good thing!
