As Nintendo gets ready for the launch of the Switch 2 on June 5th, it’s now rolling out updates to even more titles than it previously announced. On a series of support pages spotted by Nintendo Life, Nintendo has revealed free updates meant to boost the performance across games on the Switch 2.
Here’s a list of the additional games Nintendo is updating:
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
- Kirby’s Dream Buffet
- Kirby Star Allies
- Super Mario 3D All-Stars
- Xenoblade Chronicles 3
- Pikmin 3 Deluxe
For most of these games, Nintendo says “several adjustments have been made to improve gameplay on Nintendo Switch 2,” without getting into detail about what exactly is changing. They follow announcements from last month, when Nintendo said it would update a dozen titles for the Switch 2, including games like Pokémon Scarlet, Pokémon Violet, and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
These updates are separate from the paid upgrades for games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Party Jamboree, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
Third-party developers have been announcing free updates for the Switch 2 as well. Fortnite is rolling out an update offering better frame rates, improved resolution, and access to GameChat. Additionally, No Man’s Sky is adding multiplayer support, touch screen support, gyro controls, and cross-saves.
