Nintendo has announced that with the latest software update, the Switch console will now support bluetooth audio.
Nintendo announced in a tweet that brought the Switch the ability to listen to audio via wireless bluetooth headsets. The ability to use Bluetooth headsets on the Switch console was a feature that was clearly missing from the first moment came to stores in 2017. According to a Nintendo support article, for the new feature you will only need to do the latest software update.
Using wireless Bluetooth headphones will limit you to using two wireless controllers. The system also won't support Bluetooth microphones, which isn't surprising given that Nintendo's voice chat system relies on a application that works on your phone.
Reading the changelog, the update also adds some features to make the wired Internet more useful. The Switch will be able to stay connected to the internet even when idle, either via an adapter or via the built-in doors LAN.
Nintendo says this will help the console download content while it sleeps and that the feature will be enabled by default.
