Ensuring that your Nintendo Switch is completely up-to-date is a good way to avoid any issues and establish that the system is running as efficiently as possible.
The same goes for your Nintendo Switch's Joy-Cons, though updating your controllers is slightly different from the console itself.
If you want to update your Joy-Cons to ensure they are also up-to-date and efficient, we can help.
How Do I Update My Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons?
To update your Joy-Cons, follow these steps:
- From your Nintendo Switch's home menu, navigate to System Settings at the bottom of your screen.
- Within System Settings, scroll down the left-hand side options until you find Controllers and Sensors.
- Enter the options for Controllers and Sensors and you should see each individual option for your Joy-Cons. Scroll down until you find Update Controllers.
- Select Update Controllers and your Nintendo Switch will begin updating each Joy-Con attached to the console itself.
It is important to note that your Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons have to be docked with the Switch console to be updated.
Utilizing the Nintendo Switch's System Settings is also a useful way to ensure that every eligible feature of your Nintendo Switch console is up-to-date.
Things like ensuring your Nintendo Switch system and games are fully updated as well as your Joy-Con updates can all be found within System Settings.
