You may recall that, earlier this week, Nintendo announced that an update for Splatoon 3 would be coming soon. The update would be focused on fixing issues with viewing Big Run results and receiving Big Run rewards. However, they didn’t give an exact release date yet.
Well, that has changed. You can download the new update right now. Once you’ve downloaded the update, Splatoon 3 should be at version 6.0.1. As for the official patch notes, as promised, the Big Run issues have been fixed. That said, that’s not the only bug fixes that Nintendo has addressed in this update. You can see the patch notes down below.
Fixes to Player Controls
- Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the screen to freeze for a short while during battles or work shifts.
- Fixed an issue that sometimes caused players who activated their Triple Splashdown special after performing certain actions to appear in a different location on the screens of other players.
Fixes to Salmon Run
- Fixed an issue in Big Run that caused the news to not appear correctly when the event ended and prevented players from receiving a badge or decoration according to their high score.
- Players who have already been affected by this issue can see the news play properly and also receive the badge or decorations they were supposed to receive by applying this update.
- Fixed an issue that caused shots from the Crab Tank’s cannon to do less damage than before when hitting the body of a Steelhead while it’s growing a bomb from its head.
Other Fixes
- Fixed an issue where, if a player’s system went into sleep mode and disconnected from the internet, then came out of sleep mode and the player restarted the game, the player would return to the square instead of where they were before.
Note: Compatible with Ver. 6.0.0 battle replays. Not compatible with Ver. 5.2.0 or earlier battle replays.
They didn’t fix the bug. There are still thousands of players who has still not received their rewards at all. Come on Nintendo. I know you are better than this.
