Nintendo Switch 2 Backwards Compatibility Update: Full Patch Notes
▼ Summary
– October 2025 brought new backwards compatibility fixes for five Nintendo Switch 1 games on Switch 2, including Warframe and Deemo Reborn.
– This month’s update contains the smallest number of fixes so far, but Nintendo is expected to continue addressing compatibility issues in the future.
– Nintendo has identified several other games with ongoing compatibility problems, such as Jelly Troops being unsupported and Kingdoms of Amalur having graphics issues.
– Specific issues with affected games include animation problems in Subway Simulator 2025 and functionality problems when docking/undocking Transistor.
– Nintendo’s own title Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is confirmed to require a future patch for Switch 2 compatibility.
With the arrival of October, Nintendo Switch 2 users can now access a fresh set of backwards compatibility improvements for original Switch games. This latest round of updates follows the recent firmware release for both consoles, which officially emphasized general stability enhancements but quietly delivered these important game-specific fixes as well.
The complete roster of Nintendo Switch 1 titles receiving backwards compatibility patches on the Switch 2 this October includes Deemo Reborn, Library of Ruina, Powerful Pro Baseball 2024-2025, Ultra Age, and Warframe. While this represents the most modest number of fixes released in a single update to date, the inclusion of a major live-service title like Warframe is a significant development. Support for legacy software is expected to continue, especially considering that high-profile games such as Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition are still awaiting necessary patches.
In addition to the resolved issues, Nintendo has released new status updates for several other games currently facing known problems on the new hardware. The company has identified specific compatibility complications with the following titles:
Jelly Troops is now listed as unsupported due to issues that prevent players from progressing in the game.
