With just days left until the official launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, Nintendo has rolled out a major update to its companion mobile application, now rebranded as the Nintendo Switch App.

This rebranding marks a shift in identity, especially since the name “Nintendo Switch Online” was previously tied to Nintendo’s subscription service. That service continues to offer robust online multiplayer features, allowing players to team up or compete with friends, along with access to a rich library of retro titles spanning four decades—from the NES and SNES, to the Game Boy, Nintendo 64, and soon, thanks to the new console’s release, even the GameCube era.

The latest 3.0.1 app update not only removes “Online” from the title but also debuts a cleaner, more intuitive interface. The app now fully supports Nintendo Switch 2 consoles and introduces improved social features like GameChat invitations. You can manage your friends list directly through the app and opt-in to receive notifications when your friends go online.

PlayOne standout enhancement is the improved media management system—now you can upload screenshots and video clips directly to the app from your console’s album.

Below are the full patch notes as shared via the App Store:
