The previous Nintendo Switch firmware update, version 13.0.0, finally added support for Bluetooth audio, allowing players to use wireless (Bluetooth) headsets on Nintendo's hybrid platform. This update also allowed users to update the Nintendo Switch dock. This feature, however, is only available for Switch systems with a LAN port – as such, only the Switch OLED will be able to make use of this new update feature.
