Nintendo Says More About How Free Switch 2 Updates Will Improve Switch Games

In April 2025, Nintendo announced that approximately twelve of its own Switch titles will receive complimentary updates adding enhancements tailored for the Switch 2, which launches on June 5.
These updates follow persistent performance issues like frame rate dips in newer games such as Pokémon Scarlet and Violet released in late 2022.
The updates will include enhancements like improved graphics, HDR support, GameShare multiplayer, and optimization for the Switch 2’s screen and HDR TVs.
Nintendo explained that free update packages will vary from game to game, and these patches can be downloaded through a system update when the Switch 2 launches.
These improvements aim to offer smoother gameplay and new features but remain less extensive than paid Switch 2 upgrades like those for Breath of the Wild.
