Nintendo Switch 2 System Update 21.0.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Nintendo has released System Update 21.0.0 for the Nintendo Switch 2, bringing a range of improvements and adjustments to the console. The update, released today, focuses on refinements to existing features, language support, and overall system stability. This follows the release of Version 20.5.0 in late September, wich also centered on general system stability.
The update impacts several key areas of the Switch 2 experience, including Notifications, System Settings, and HDR display functionality. While Nintendo’s official patch notes contained a mistranslation regarding HDR settings-as noted by dataminer ’OatmealDome’-the core improvements aim to enhance user experience and broaden accessibility.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the changes:
* User Profile:
* The option to “Adjust” profile pictures has been added.
* Notifications:
* “Platinum Point Notification” has been renamed to “Nintendo Switch Online Notification.”
* System Settings:
* ”Stop Charging Around 90%” has been renamed and updated to “Stop Charging Around 80-90%.”
* Thai and Polish have been added as language options.(These languages will only be available in software that supports them.)
* HDR Display:
* A feature to view peak brightness values when adjusting HDR settings in TV mode has been implemented. (This change was inaccurately described in the initial patch notes.)
* General:
* General system stability improvements have been made to enhance the user experience.
Dataminer ‘OatmealDome’ highlighted the discrepancy in the official patch notes regarding the HDR display update, stating, “Version 21.0.0 adds a way to view the peak brightness value when adjusting HDR settings in TV mode. This change appears to have been mistranslated in the English patch notes,as it says an entirely different setting was changed.”
The update is now available for download.[source[source[source[sourcehttps://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/68473/kw/21.0.0/p/1095].
