A small system update is now available for Nintendo Switch 2 alongside the original Nintendo Switch family of systems, bringing the firmware to Version 23.0.1. The patch notes for both consoles are the same, fixing a single issue that caused software to sometimes take too long to open, close, and pause. A much bigger update for Nintendo Switch 2 was released earlier this month, adding VRR support for TV mode, background music options in the Mii Maker menu, and more. Though there’s not much else to read, the full patch notes for the latest version can be found below.
Ver. 23.0.1 (Released September 30, 2026)
Fixed an issue from system version 23.0.0 where software occasionally took a long time to start, pause, or close.
We got a patch note!
Yee Haw a new patch note!
I appreciate a patch note that names the actual problem instead of just saying “stability improvements.” Slow starts and pauses would bother me more than a missing menu feature. Whether I’m using a console or browsing an online gaming service like this platform, responsiveness matters to me. I’d be interested to hear whether anyone who experienced the delays has noticed a difference after updating.
