Nintendo has released a new software update for the Switch, Switch Lite and Switch OLED with a highly requested feature, Bluetooth audio. Once updated to version 13.0.0 a new Bluetooth Audio option in the Settings app will appear allowing you to pair headphones, speakers and anything else. A new Bluetooth icon will also show in the status section to indicate when headphones are connected,.

At the moment, this only works for audio output, microphones aren’t supported. Nintendo has also said that it is limited to support two controllers connected and one Bluetooth audio output, such as a speaker. Up to ten devices can be registered to the Switch too, but only one audio device at a time.
