After Five Years, Nintendo Adds Folders To The Switch

Would you look at that, Nintendo have finally added the ability to sort the game tiles on Nintendo Switch into folders!

As part of the version 14.0.0 software update, Nintendo finally allows players to sort their content into ‘groups’. Each group can contain up to 200 applications & games, and you can have 100 groups. In typical Nintendo fashion, there are a few downsides to this. The groups can only be created by scrolling to the end of the list of games and going into the All Software section, meaning they don’t show on the front screen. Still, it’s nice to have some form of organisation on the console.

There’s a few more updates to relating to Bluetooth audio, so we’ve copied the full patch notes below:

Ver. 14.0.0 (Released March 21, 2022)

“Groups” feature was added to the All Software menu.

• You can now create groups of software to help organize your software titles.
• Making groups for different game genres, developers, or whatever you’d like to organize by may make it easier to find the application you want.
  • Up to 100 groups can be created with a max of 200 titles per group.
• The button to proceed to the “All Software” screen is displayed only when there are 13 or more software title icons on the system.
• For more information, see How to Create Groups of Software.

Bluetooth® Audio volume behavior was changed.

• You can now adjust the volume of Bluetooth audio devices using either the Nintendo Switch™ console or through volume control buttons on the Bluetooth audio device.
  • The Bluetooth audio device must support AVRCP profiles for these changes to work.
• The volume displayed on the console will reflect the Bluetooth audio volume when using the device’s control buttons.
• The maximum volume output for some Bluetooth audio devices has been increased.
  • When first connecting a device, volume will be reduced to avoid sudden loudness.
  • For more information, see How to Pair and Manage Bluetooth Audio Devices.
