Nintendo Updates Switch Online App: New Features Revealed

Author : Leo Update:Jun 01,2025

As the highly anticipated release of the Nintendo Switch 2 draws near on June 5, Nintendo has given its official mobile companion app a major makeover. The app, previously known as "Nintendo Switch Online," has been rebranded simply as the "Nintendo Switch App." This change is notable, especially since the original name was closely tied to the company's subscription-based online gaming service, which offers multiplayer capabilities and a vast library of retro games from systems like the NES, SNES, Game Boy, Nintendo 64, and soon, the new GameCube lineup with the Nintendo Switch 2.

The latest 3.0.1 update brings several enhancements, including a fresh design that improves usability. Now compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2, the app supports features such as GameChat invitations and streamlined management of your friends list. You can even opt to receive notifications when your friends go online.

One standout improvement is the ability to upload screenshots and videos directly from your console to the app, making it easier than ever to share your gaming experiences. The update also includes additional friend management options and various minor optimizations and bug fixes.

For those eager to learn more about the Nintendo Switch 2, the app provides insights into the games launching alongside it, along with a comprehensive list of OG Nintendo Switch titles that may encounter compatibility challenges on the new hardware.

To dive deeper into what's new, here are the full patch notes straight from the App Store.
