Nintendo has just released another new firmware update for the Switch. It bumps the hybrid system up to version 14.1.1.
According to Nintendo’s official support page, this latest update includes “general system stability improvements” to further enhance the user experience. Surprisingly, this wasn’t included in the previous patch. Here are the patch notes in full for version 14.1.1:

This update follows on from version 14.1.0 which was released at the start of April and added “Platinum Point notification settings”. You can see the full history of Nintendo Switch updates in our guide:
