Nintendo Switch 2 System Update 22.5.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Nintendo has released system firmware version 22.5.0 for the Switch 2, marking another routine update in the console’s ongoing support cycle. The update, released on June 15, 2026, arrives as the Switch 2 passes its one-year milestone since launch.
The patch focuses on maintenance and accessibility improvements, primarily adding Dutch and Russian language support to the Text to Speech feature within the Accessibility settings. Additionally, the update includes general stability enhancements designed to improve the overall user experience on the console.
The original Nintendo Switch also received an update concurrently, which includes a redesign to the eShop layout, indicating Nintendo’s continued investment in both generations of the platform. Users can install the Switch 2 update either through automatic prompting or manually via the system settings menu.
This update continues Nintendo’s pattern of regular maintenance releases for the Switch 2, though the limited patch notes suggest this is primarily a stability and localization-focused release rather than a major feature addition.
