Highlights and Full Details of Version 22.5.0

2. Nintendo eShop and Download Performance Boost
Interface stutters and visual loading delays in the digital store have been largely eliminated with this patch. Additionally, background game downloads and updates are now managed to have minimal impact on the frame rate (FPS) of active games, thanks to redesigned resource allocation.
