Nintendo has released a new firmware update for the Switch. It upgrades the system to version 14.0.0 and although it is not a major upgrade, it adds an important and long requested feature.

Five years later, users now have the ability to create software suites. It’s basically a folder update, which means you can organize your game library into all genres. There is a maximum of 100 groups, with a maximum of 200 topics per group.

So, you can finally clean up the main toggle menu. Apart from this, Nintendo changed the volume behavior of Bluetooth audio and improved the user experience.

Below are the full patch notes provided by Nintendo Official support page:

Version 14.0.0 (released March 21, 2022)

The “Groups” feature has been added to all program listings.

  • You can now create groups of programs to help you organize your program topics.
  • Creating teams for different types of games, for developers, or whatever you want to organize can make it easier to find the app you want.
    • You can create up to 100 groups with a maximum of 200 titles per group.
  • The button to go to the “All Software” screen is displayed only if the system has 13 or more icons for the program title.
  • For more information, see How to create software teams.

The Bluetooth volume behavior has been changed.

  • You can now adjust the volume of Bluetooth audio devices using the Nintendo Switch controller or using the volume buttons on the Bluetooth audio device.
    • For these changes to take effect, the Bluetooth audio device must support AVRCP profiles.
  • When using the device control buttons, the volume displayed on the console reflects the Bluetooth volume.
  • The maximum audio output has been increased for some Bluetooth audio devices.
