Nintendo Switch Sports Golf Update Now Live, Here’s What’s Included

Last week, Nintendo announced it would finally be rolling out its new free golf update for Nintendo Switch Sports. It’s now officially gone live, meaning you should be able to update your copy and play it right now.

This latest update bumps the game up to Version 1.3.0. Included with golf is the ‘survival mode’ – supporting eight players. This update also adds LAN play and addresses “several issues”.

“Hit the fairway across 21 holes from the Wii Sports series and tee up with friends in local or online play, or get golfing together with up to eight players in the all-new online Survival Golf mode. The player who takes the most strokes each round will be eliminated.”

Here are the full patch notes, courtesy of Nintendo’s official support page:
