Previously, Nintendo added native Bluetooth audio support to the switch with the ver 13.0.0 update, which will finally allow players to connect their Bluetooth headsets, earbuds, and headphones to the Switch console. The ver 13.0.0 also brought in the ‘Update Dock’ option, which now lets players update firmware on Switch docks with LAN support, like in the Switch OLED.
Version 11.0.0 had added the Online app to the home screen and let players screenshots from Switch to any other device wirelessly or to a PC through USB.
While we are yet to find out any significant performance change that this latest update has brought in to Nintendo Switch, it is great to see that Nintendo is genuinely taking into consideration the feedback that it is receiving from the gaming community.
