Nintendo releases firmware version 23.0.0 for both the Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Nintendo Switch. The update for Switch 2 adds support for VRR (variable refresh rate) output when the console is docked, with changes also reported for system features including the Mii editor/Mii Maker.

Multiple outlets describe an update to the Mii editor that adds background music. One report also notes that the original Switch receives a much shorter set of changes compared with Switch 2, and references support related to playing “virtual game cards” using a temporary online license when transfers are not possible. The full details of the Switch 1 changes are described as limited relative to the broader Switch 2 update.

Across the coverage, Nintendo’s release is characterized as a system-level update delivered to both consoles, with the most visible additions for Switch 2 focusing on improved display compatibility in TV mode and added audio functionality in the Mii creator experience.
