New Nintendo Switch Firmware Update 4.1.0 Fixes Motion Control Issues

Nintendo has just released Nintendo Switch Firmware Update 4.1.0 which seems to improve general stability and an issue that caused motion controls to respond incorrectly.

I hadn’t heard of this specific issue outside of a few games (Splatoon 2 and Skyrim) that were having some abnormalities with gyro controls.

The full patch notes from Nintendo are below:

Improvements Included in Version 4.1.0 (Distributed 12/04/2017)

  • General system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience, including:
    • Resolved an issue that caused motion controls to respond incorrectly when playing games that use the feature

It’s been a while since we’ve had a major Nintendo Switch update. I’d hope that we’ll get something substantial in the new year alongside the proper Nintendo Switch online functionality.
