After more than five years, Nintendo Switch has finally gotten the functionality of creating folders to help players categorise their games.
The folder feature – or “Groups” as Nintendo has dubbed it – is available now as part of the latest firmware update for Nintendo Switch, version 14.0.0. To use the Groups feature, you will need to download and install the 14.0.0 update.
Now, with the Groups feature, you can organise your game library however you like. So if you want all your Mario games in one place, you can put them in a custom-named folder for easy access. There’s no limit on what kinds of Groups you can create. If you want to have a Group called “Regrets” and fill it with the 99p tat that litters the sale page 24/7, you can, and I will…
The new 14.0.0 update also tweaks Bluetooth audio functionality. If you use Bluetooth headphones, you’ll now be able to adjust the volume directly via the Nintendo Switch, which will also display the actual Bluetooth device volume.

“Groups” feature was added to the All Software menu.
- You can now create groups of software to help organize your software titles.
- Making groups for different game genres, developers, or whatever you’d like to organize by may make it easier to find the application you want.
- Up to 100 groups can be created with a max of 200 titles per group.
- The button to proceed to the “All Software” screen is displayed only when there are 13 or more software title icons on the system.
- For more information, see How to Create Groups of Software.
Bluetooth® Audio volume behavior was changed.
- You can now adjust the volume of Bluetooth audio devices using either the Nintendo Switch™ console or through volume control buttons on the Bluetooth audio device.
- The Bluetooth audio device must support AVRCP profiles for these changes to work.
- The volume displayed on the console will reflect the Bluetooth audio volume when using the device’s control buttons.
- The maximum volume output for some Bluetooth audio devices has been increased.
- When first connecting a device, volume will be reduced to avoid sudden loudness.
