Nintendo Switch erhält Firmware 8.0 als Update

Nintendo hat am Dienstag Morgen ein neues Update für die Nintendo Switch freigegeben. Es handelt sich um Version 8.0, welches ab sofort gedownloadet werden kann. Das Update ist größer als die Vorgängerversion und beinhaltet mehr Features und ein deutlich längeren Changelog.

So kann man ab sofort das Home-Menü sortieren, es gibt eine bessere News-Übersicht und weitere Verbesserungen. Es gibt nebenbei auch ein Update für die Joy Con, wie die Kollegen von MobiFlip berichten. Hier sind aber keine Änderungen bekannt.

Der Changelog ist aktuell nur in englisch verfügbar, lautet aber wie folgt:
