Splatoon 2 - Version 5.0.1 update | Nintendo Switch News | NintendoReporters

 [![Splatoon 2 – Version 5.0.1 update](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/splatoon-2-version-5.0.1-update.png "Splatoon 2 – Version 5.0.1 update")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/splatoon-2-version-5.0.1-update.png)Nintendo decided to release a brand new update for Splatoon 2, bringing the game to version 5.0.1.

This update doesn’t add any new content or balance adjustments, which was expected. However, the update does fix a lot of bugs that were previously in the game, especially to multiplayer.
