One of Nintendo Switch’s most requested features, the ability to sort games into folders on the Switch UI, is finally here – five years after the system’s launch. Nintendo rolled out a new system update on Monday that allows users to create software groups to organize their Switch libraries.
Nintendo’s new Groups feature is available through the All Software Switch menu, which is visible when a user has more than 12 games on their system. Switch owners can create new groups as needed – up to 100 groups with up to 200 tracks per group. In an example of groups tweeted by Nintendo On Monday, folders named Mario Games, Zelda Games, Old School, and others will appear.
For detailed instructions on creating and arranging groups, see Nintendo’s support site.
The group feature is part of Ver. 14.0.0 of the system software of the Nintendo Switch. details Nintendo patch notes are available below.
