Nintendo has announced today that the company has pulled the most recent Nintendo Switch Sports update due to reports of the software closing during the game’s pre-match loading screen. The company attributes the issue to a bug which is currently being investigated by the Kyoto-based company. The bug is affecting both online play and offline play in Nintendo Switch Sports.
Nintendo says that until a solution is found for the issue, they will be taking the servers for Nintendo Switch Sports offline and you therefore won’t be able to play the Switch Sports online. They have also taken steps to suspend the game’s save data backup. It is not apparent why this particular issue wasn’t spotted by the testers before the Version 1.2.1 update went live on 12th October. Nintendo says that they “sincerely apologise for the inconvenience” to players of Nintendo Switch Sports. Hopefully the issue will be resolved soon.
