The hit indie release Vampire Survivors made its debut on the Switch last month and since then it’s received some updates.
The latest one (Version 1.6.108) has now been released on Nintendo’s hybrid system and it contains all sorts of fixes and improvements for both the main game and DLC. In addition to this is added language support for Chinese (Traditional) and perhaps most interestingly there’s also been a Home menu icon update. Below is the before and after screenshots:
