Nintendo just released a new firmware update for the Switch. It updates the system to version 14.0.0 and while it’s not a very big update, it adds an important and long-standing feature.
Five years later, users now have the ability to create program groups. This is basically the updates folder, meaning you can organize your game library into all sorts of categories. There is a limit of 100 groups with a maximum of 200 titles per group.
So – there you are, you can finally clean up your main toggle list. In addition, Nintendo has changed the volume behavior of Bluetooth audio to improve the user experience.
Here are the full patch notes provided by Nintendo Official Support Page:
Version 14.0.0 (released March 21, 2022)
The Groups feature has been added to the All Programs list.
- You can now create program groups to organize your program titles.
- Creating groups for different types of games, for developers, or whatever else you want to organize can make it easier to find the app you want.
- Up to 100 groups can be created with a maximum of 200 addresses per group.
- The button to continue to the All Programs screen is only displayed if there are 13 or more program title icons on the system.
- For more information, see How to create program groups.
The behavior of the Bluetooth® volume has been changed.
- You can now adjust the volume of your Bluetooth audio devices using the Nintendo Switch™ controller or using the volume buttons on your Bluetooth audio device.
- The Bluetooth audio device must support AVRCP profiles for these changes to work.
- The volume displayed on the console reflects the Bluetooth volume level when using the device control buttons.
- The maximum volume has been increased for some Bluetooth audio devices.
