Nintendo hasn’t done much with the Switch’s firmware lately. The last few updates, including versions 17.0.0 and 18.0.0, contained very few new additions. In fact, at least a third of the Switch updates released in the past 12 months were non-reboot updates.
Well, Nintendo released a new update a little while ago. After the update, the switch firmware should now be at version 18.1.0. Not surprisingly, this update doesn’t really do much. Its main purpose is related to removing the Switch’s X/Twitter integration. You can view the patch notes in full.
