Pokémon Legends: Arceus Version 1.1.0 Is Now Available, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
The third update for Pokémon Legends: Arceus is now live on the Nintendo Switch, and it adds new content to enjoy mostly post-credits, along with some other fixes and improvements. It bumps the latest entry in the series up to Version 1.1.0; be sure to use ‘+’ on the HOME screen icon for the game to check your version and update manually if necessary.
