Important
- The option to update controller firmware is available for consoles with system menu version 4.0.0. or higher.
- In order to update the controller firmware, the controller must be paired to the console and powered on.
Note: The controller firmware can be updated while the controller is attached to the Nintendo Switch console or while it is connected wirelessly.
Complete these steps
- Ensure your console has the latest system update installed.
- From the HOME Menu select System Settings, then navigate to Controllers and Sensors.
- Select Update Controllers to begin updating the controller's firmware. If multiple controllers are paired to the console, the firmware will be updated one controller at a time.
Important: If the update stops before it can be completed, try this step again.
