NINTENDO recently announced its schedule for the second half of 2024, but some release dates have remained a mystery.

During the June 2024 Nintendo Direct, an update for Nintendo Switch Sports was announced, but the release date was simply mid-2024.

Nintendo has now revealed the date the update will be released, and it’s sooner than previously thought.

The free update will be released in Wednesday, July 10, 2024, and add a new sport to Nintendo Switch Sports.

Basketball will be added to the game, with several new modes.

The main mode will be 2v2 matches against AI, locally or online, but there are also single and multiplayer challenges.

These include three-point challenges to score as many hoops as possible within the time limit, or challenges to score five baskets before other players.

Anyone who already owns Nintendo Switch Sports, has automatic updates enabled and whose Nintendo Switch is connected to the internet will have their games updated without doing anything.

If it doesn’t, there are several things you can do to download it manually.

Those who own the physical cartridge may need to insert the game into their console and open it before the update begins.

Updates can only be completed when your Switch is connected to the internet, so make sure yours is connected in settings and that your console is not in flight mode.

If you have a digital version of the game, automatic updates may be disabled, so you may need to try playing the game to initiate the manual update.
