Nintendo has released a significant system update for its acclaimed hybrid consoles, the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch 2, focusing on improving game compatibility and user experience.
One of the most notable fixes in this update addresses a compatibility issue that affected Nier: Automata, a popular action RPG developed by PlatinumGames and published by Square Enix. Nier: Automata is widely celebrated for its engaging combat, imaginative storytelling, and unique blend of gameplay styles.
The game originally launched on major platforms before making its way to the Nintendo Switch via the eShop in October 2022 as 'Nier: Automata The End of YoRHa Edition.' Since its release, it has garnered praise for successfully translating the complex action and emotional depth of the original to Nintendo’s portable hardware.
However, following the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, users reported technical issues that prevented Nier: Automata from functioning properly on the new system. Responding promptly to community feedback, Nintendo deployed a system software update designed to resolve these reported issues.
According to the company’s latest support page update, Nier: Automata now operates as intended on the Nintendo Switch 2, restoring full access for new and returning players.
This fix ensures that fans can experience the full intensity of Nier: Automata’s action-packed narrative without interruption, regardless of which Nintendo Switch model they own. A Nintendo spokesperson clarified in their support update that the technical issue impacting Nier: Automata on the Switch 2 has been resolved, and the game is now fully compatible with the upgraded hardware. This achievement highlights Nintendo’s continued commitment to ensuring a smooth transition between console generations and maintaining backwards compatibility.
As gaming libraries expand and hardware evolves, prompt updates like these play a critical role in preserving access to acclaimed third-party titles such as Nier: Automata. Players interested in diving back into the world of Nier: Automata on either the original Nintendo Switch or the Switch 2 can now do so with confidence, thanks to this system-level improvement.
The update is available to all users, and further details can be found on Nintendo's official support page.
This ensures that the Nintendo Switch platform remains a go-to destination for high-quality third-party experiences alongside its celebrated first-party lineup.
