New month, new update for the Nintendo Switch. Patch 16.0.1 has been deployed on the console and its various models. Here are the changes made.
And three. Manufacturers regularly update their consoles to bring new features, protect users from discovered vulnerabilities or simply improve the performance and stability of their machine. Since the beginning of the year, the Nintendo Switch has received two new updates, none of them having brought any real novelties. Version 16.0.0 was expected on this point, but had only added the possibility of transferring screenshots to another device using a QR code. Of course we had seen better. A month after the last patch, Big N is rolling out a new update for the Nintendo Switch. Here’s what she brings.
Nintendo Switch 16.0.2 update is here
The Nintendo Switch therefore goes to version 16.0.2 on April 18, 2023. We will be disappointed right away, it is not a major update and it does not once again contain any new features or major changes. This is actually a routine update that focuses on improving performance and stability of the hybrid console and all of its variations. Generally speaking, this also tends to correct possible flaws discovered in the system of the machine. Here are the official patch notes for this version 16.0.2 of the Nintendo Switch:
- General improvements to system stability and user experience
Small hidden changes
As often, this update hides a few other elements. THE dataminer OatmealDome therefore returned to dig into the bowels of the console to see if there was not something more crisp in the patch. In order not to change, Big N has secretly modified its famous list of forbidden words, for example banishing the word “adhd” (attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity in English) in the Japanese database. Some changes would also have been made to the SSL module, which makes it possible to secure connections between devices connected to the same Internet network. As pointed out by the dataminerthis minor change in the module was probably intended to fix a memory leak.
If the Nintendo Switch 16.0.2 update is still not installed on your console, you can force the procedure manually. Go to Settings, then to the “Console” sub-menu and select “Console Update”.
