Firmware 23 brings VRR and GameChat (reported)
On the episode, Infendo reported that Nintendo released Firmware 23 for the Switch and Switch OLED models, noting the update adds Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support and improvements to GameChat.
The hosts presented these items as the headline features of the new system software, advising listeners to check Nintendo’s official support pages or the console’s system settings for the precise changelog and timing for rollout on their region and hardware.
Celebrating Nintendo’s founding
The podcast also marked Nintendo’s founding anniversary.
Infendo noted that Nintendo was founded on September 23, 1889, and used the anniversary as an opportunity to reflect on the company’s long history in gaming hardware and software.
For context, the Nintendo Switch launched in March 2017 and remains Nintendo’s current hybrid console platform.
Industry news and show segments
Infendo dedicated a portion of the episode to recent industry workforce changes and studio reorganizations affecting Xbox and other major publishers, framing those items as part of wider consolidation and staffing trends in the games industry.
The hosts avoided deep technical claims but emphasized the potential impacts such changes can have on development teams and release plans.
In the show’s regular "Change the System" segment, Brandon discussed Alan Wake and celebrated Human: Fall Flat’s 10th anniversary, while Eugene covered indie titles such as Sektori and Typing of the Dead.
Human: Fall Flat originally launched in 2016, making a 10th-anniversary conversation topical in 2026.
