A new Nintendo Switch 2 system update is now live, introducing fixes for a couple of specific issues while improving the system's stability.
The 21.0.1 update, which is also live for the original Nintendo Switch, addresses an issue that caused Error Code: 2011-0301 or Error Code: 2168-0002 to occur when attempting a system transfer from a Switch system to a Switch 2 system.
The new Nintendo Switch 2 system update also addresses an issue that prevented Bluetooth devices from connecting to the console after waking up the system from Sleep Mode or turning off Airplane Mode. This was a particularly annoying issue that forced the user to reboot the system, so this fix is particularly welcome.
Being a minor update, these seem to be the only changes introduced by the 21.0.1 update. You can find the official update notes below.
- Fixed an issue where Error Code: 2011-0301 or Error Code: 2168-0002 would repeatedly occur on a Nintendo Switch when attempting a system transfer using local communication from a Nintendo Switch system to a Nintendo Switch 2 system.
- Fixed an issue where sometimes, after waking up the system from Sleep Mode or turning off Airplane Mode, wireless controllers or Bluetooth audio devices were unable to connect.
- General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.
Although the new Nintendo Switch 2 update is a minor update, some undocumented changes may have been introduced to the system. At the time of writing, has yet to report any findings; however, we will update the post as soon as new information about the update is discovered.
