Nintendo Switch Version 11.0.0 system update now available

It’s time to update your Nintendo Switch! Nintendo has released the system’s Version 11.0.0 update today and it brings more than just new user icons.

Making the jump from Version 10.2.0, the newest update brings a Nintendo Switch Online app to the console, allowing you access membership perks in one convenient spot. Transferring pictures and videos are now easier than ever, allowing you to transfer data on your Switch to a smart device. Instead of posting batches of four photos onto social media or shutting down the system completely and transferring images from the microSD card, you can send up to 10 photos per batch to your smart device. If you prefer to download images and videos to your computer, then don’t fret. That process has been updated too! You can now use a “USB charging cable [model HAC-010] or a USB-IF certified USB cable that supports data transfer” to transfer files! 

 

Be sure to check out a new functionality on your Nintendo Switch profile page, which now displays overall trends from your Friend List! https://t.co/FHsNV9djsE pic.twitter.com/cVbTWBVgGa
