Nintendo hasn’t really been doing much with the Switch’s firmware lately. The last few updates, including the version 17.0.0 and 18.0.0 ones, contained very little new additions. In fact, at least a third of the Switch updates that have been released in the past 12 months have been “rebootless” updates.

Well, Nintendo has released a new update just a bit ago. Once you update, the Switch’s firmware should now be at version 18.1.0. It’s not surprising, but this update doesn’t really do much. Its main purpose is related to the removal of the Switch’s X/Twitter integration. You can see the patch notes in full down blow.

  • The following updates were made for the discontinuation of X (formerly Twitter) integration:
    • The option to “Post to Twitter” when sharing from the Album in the Nintendo Switch HOME Menu was removed.
    • The ability to post Super Smash Bros. Ultimate screenshots from the Album in the Nintendo Switch HOME Menuu to Smash World in the Nintendo Switch Online smart device app was removed.
    • The option to link X (formerly Twitter) from “Settings” > “User Settings” > “Posting to Social Media” was removed.
  • The option to link social media accounts from “My Page” > “Friend Suggestions” was removed.
  • General system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience.
