Nintendo has rolled out Splatoon Raiders version 1.1.1, marking the game’s first post-launch update for the Nintendo Switch 2. The patch focuses on a broad set of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements detailed in the official release notes.

The most notable gameplay change concerns the tank’s limiter. Players can now release it without needing to hold down the A Button, streamlining a previously cumbersome interaction.

Here is the complete breakdown of the Splatoon Raiders 1.1.1 patch notes:

General Adjustments

  • The tank limiter release mechanic no longer requires holding the A Button.
  • Fixed a bug where the auto-hide feature for UI elements like the Showstopper Gauge was not functioning correctly in the Hideout Ship or dungeons.
  • Resolved an issue where the Emergency Damage Up effect failed to apply to the explosion damage generated by the Splatchet’s Explosive Steps.
  • Addressed a movement glitch that occasionally prevented player control after using a Splatchet immediately following a Squid Roll off a wall.
  • Fixed a problem in Soyu Cliffs where a Fish Stick could clip into the terrain, rendering it undefeatable.
  • Corrected an issue in the Arcade Cabinet mode, HOPPING, where the Exploration Bot would sometimes stop attacking Salmonids.
  • Fixed a rare crash that could occur when tapping the Nintendo Switch 2 touchscreen during the fog swirl transition on the game’s launch screen.

In addition to these fixes, Nintendo has implemented several other unlisted tweaks aimed at smoothing out the overall gameplay experience. Splatoon Raiders is currently available exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2. For reference, the patch notes for the previous version 1.1.0 are available for comparison.
