Nintendo Releases New Switch 2 Console Update for April 2026

As a Switch gamer, I’m used to Nintendo dropping system updates to keep things running smoothly and improve performance. But sometimes, these updates really shake things up for games! The big one recently was version 22.0.0 in late March 2026. It added something called Handheld Boost Mode to the Switch 2, and it’s pretty cool – it lets you play Switch games in 1080p while using the handheld mode on the Switch 2. It does drain the battery faster, but a lot of my favorite Switch games look way better because of it.
