Several key features of the Nintendo Switch 2 will not be available immediately and will need a future update to function.

Now that everyone is a bit more sober after yesterday’s massive Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, it’s time to dig through the press releases and read the fine print. Shortly after the show’s conclusion, Nintendo updated its various regional websites with more details on the hardware and some of the console’s new features.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t sound like all everything we got to hear about will be immediately accessible out of the box.

The big Nintendo Switch 2 press release on Nintendo’s corporate website offers a few more details on several of the new features coming with the new console, such as GameChat. More importantly, it lists all the major hardware specs (though without specifics).

One thing that stands out, however, is that two of them will not be available out of the box, and will instead require an update. Nintendo does not say whether said update will be available on day one, or sometime after launch.

The first, and arguably most important, is the Switch 2’s ability to support external storage. The upcoming console supports both microSD and microSD Express. However, as noted during the presentation, you’ll only be able use the Express cards to store games.

Unfortunately, microSD Express cards will not be supported immediately. Nintendo says you’ll need to download a system update before the console can use them, which seems a little silly, considering that Express is the only type of SD card you’ll be able to use to store Switch 2 games. The 256GB internal storage will have to suffice until then.

The good news is that the Switch 2 can read standard, non-Express microSD cards, but you’ll only be able to use them to transfer screenshots and videos from your existing Switch. It’s interesting that you won’t be able to use them to play Switch games on the new system, though.

The other Switch 2 feature that will also require a system update to work is not as impactful. The page notes that while 3D audio, the surround sound effect Nintendo showed off in the Direct, will be available out of the box for headphones/external speakers, the Switch 2 will require an update to enable it for the built-in speaker.

This isn’t a big deal, seeing as most people will either have the console hooked up to their TVs via HDMI (the Switch 2 supports linear PCM 5.1ch), or use it in handheld mode with headphones. The few that really want to blast it using the built-in speaker will have to wait a little longer to get the surround sound effect.

The Switch 2 launches June 5.
