Nintendo is releasing a free update for Star Fox on Nintendo Switch 2 on September 29. The update allows players to team up with friends in the same room without requiring additional controllers or online subscriptions. The update introduces four-player split-screen support for Battle Mode.
Free patch brings local multiplayer and new stages to the game
The core change is the addition of four-player split-screen support in Battle Mode. This allows up to four players to compete locally on a single screen. The mode also supports online team play, letting local and online participants mix in the same match.
- Update Release Date: September 29
- New Multiplayer Feature: 4-player split-screen support in Battle Mode
- New Stages: Katina, Sector X, and Venom
- Platform: Nintendo Switch 2
Three new stages are also being added to the game: Katina, Sector X, and Venom. Each stage comes with unique objectives that change how players approach combat. Three new stages, Katina, Sector X, and Venom, are added to the game.
We looked at the last Star Fox update earlier while tracking similar balance and stability themes. Star Fox Adventures, the GameCube classic, has been added to the Nintendo Switch Online library as a separate offering. The September 29 patch focuses strictly on the Switch 2 version of the main game.
The update ships on September 29 and is free for all owners of Star Fox on Nintendo Switch 2. No pricing or regional restrictions are listed for this specific patch. The free update is available for download on the Nintendo Switch 2.
