The Latest Nintendo Switch Update Adds Wireless Photo Transfer
Nintendo Switch has gotten a new update, and thankfully, it adds more than just “system stability.” Most notably, players are now able to transfer photos and videos wirelessly from the system to a smart device, making it easier than ever to transfer your media. To do so, you’ll need to utilize a QR code, but it does work surprisingly well. Other photo transfer options have been added, too, such as the ability to transfer media to a USB device. Check out the patch notes below.

Ubisoft Is Aware of Upgrade Issues from PS4 to PS5 Games and Is Working on a Fix
Many players in the U.K. have been unable to upgrade their physical copies of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Watch Dogs: Legion.
