Once again, that\u2019s what we\u2019re getting here. If you were hoping for new Nintendo Switch 2 features or functionality, you might be left disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>Nintendo\u2019s official notice is as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Nintendo Switch 2 \/ Switch update version 20.4.0 patch notes<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>General system stability improvements to enhance the user\u2019s experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note that these patch notes are the same for both systems. In other words, the stability improvements are for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch.<\/p>\n<p>While firmware upgrades have been a bit plain, they have been coming out fairly regularly. The most recent release, version 20.3.0, dropped about a month ago \u2013 you can find our coverage of it <a href=\"https:\/\/nintendoeverything.com\/nintendo-switch-2-and-switch-update-20-3-0-out-now-patch-notes\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Also, one thing we\u2019ll mention again is that Nintendo\u2019s patch notes aren\u2019t always full detailed. Notably, we\u2019ve sometimes seen improvements for Nintendo Switch 1 backwards compatibility on Switch 2 following system updates. As one example, a bunch of titles were fixed in the middle of July, with some heavy hitters on the list \u2013 which you can see <a href=\"https:\/\/nintendoeverything.com\/nintendo-switch-2-backwards-compatibility-fixes-july-2025\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll report back if we hear about anything else for version 20.4.0.<\/p>\n<p>Related<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The next Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch update is now live with version 20.4.0 starting to make its&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":192942,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[65781,158,1399,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-192941","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-system-update","9":"tag-technology","10":"tag-top","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115132241368612468","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=192941"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192941\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/192942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=192941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=192941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=192941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
