Nintendo Switch Update 23.0.1 Fixes Software Slowdowns

Nintendo just rolled out system update version 23.0.1 for both the original Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. If your games were feeling sluggish lately, this patch is here to help.

The update focuses entirely on a bug that popped up with the previous 23.0.0 firmware. Players were noticing that software took an unusually long time to start, pause, or close. Nintendo responded quickly with these new patch notes to clear up the performance hiccups.

While this update does not bring any flashy new features or major changes to the home screen, making your games load and close smoothly again is a huge relief. Just connect your console to the internet and grab the download to get back to gaming without the wait.
