After a system update in December last year, bumping the Switch’s firmware up to Version 17.0.1, Nintendo has now quietly released another “rebootless” update.
This was once again highlighted by dataminer ‘OatmealDome’ on social media, who shares a brief reminder that “rebootless updates” do not require you to restart your console or take any other action, and often just contain some “minor changes”.
