Nintendo has released a new Nintendo Switch system update worldwide, with the portable home console’s current version now 9.0.0.
This update has addressed an issue with Fire Emblem: Three Houses, where those that had bought the Expansion Pass were unable to start the game.
“We are aware that some users who recently purchased the Expansion Pass for Fire Emblem: Three Houses are unable to start the game,” Nintendo of America explained. “A system update will be available later today to fix this. We apologize for the inconvenience.”
It has also added an Online Play Invites section to the User page, Alarm Notifications, touch screen sensitivity settings, and the ability to display a QR Code on-screen to check in at events with your Nintendo Account.
