The Nintendo Switch has been updated to Version 3.0. The distribution occurred on June 19, 2017, so you should have it on your system if you connect to the internet.

We have information on the firmware update from a few sources. First, Nintendo actually posted the full update notes on their official support site. We’ve dropped all of that below. After those notes, you’ll find a walkthrough video from the folks at GameXplain. They pulled their information from a thread on NeoGAF.

There are a few key features in the update, including the ability to follow news on specific games and being able to use the Pro Controller by connecting it to the switch through the USB charging slot. Here’s the full run from Nintendo:
