Although we’re now on the cusp of the Switch “successor” announcement, Nintendo is still rolling out regular updates for its current generation hybrid system.
With this in mind, it’s today bumped up the Switch firmware to Version 19.0.0. According to the official patch notes, this is another super stable update to improve the overall user experience. Here’s the full rundown:
Ver. 19.0.0 (Released October 8, 2024)
General system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience.
Dataminer ‘OatmealDome’ has shared a little more about what’s going on behind the scenes in this latest update:
“19.0.0 is now out. Pretty much every system component was updated. This is normal for major updates, as the entire OS is rebuilt with a newer SDK version.”
The previous Switch system update (Version 18.1.0) arrived in June and was linked to the May update which discontinued integration with certain social platforms.
