Switch Update 6.1.0 Now Live, Resolves Nintendo Switch Online Issue

More stability arrives on your Nintendo Switch today.

Switch firmware update 6.1.0 is now available to download. The patch addresses one minor issue with Nintendo Switch Online subscriptions.

Check out the full change-log below.

Improvements Included in Version 6.1.0 (Distributed 10/29/2018)

General system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience, including:

  • Resolved an issue where certain games don’t recognize a Nintendo Switch Online membership for a short time after purchase

Apparently, the patch also sneaks in a Joy-Con firmware update – despite no mention of it in the above notes. We have managed to test and confirm this for ourselves.
