Nintendo has deployed Nintendo Switch System Update 14.1.0, which adds a Platinum Point Notification setting to the platform.
After installing this new update, users will be able to select a new option in the System Settings that allows them to toggle notifications for when a My Nintendo Mission is completed in order to receive Platinum Points. As far as we know, this is the only chance included with this update.
As also revealed by Nintendo, although not directly related to this system update, Switch Online subscribers are now able to redeem their My Nintendo Platinum Points in order to collect custom icons from both Splatoon 2 and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. These custom icons are available through May 1st, and the icon elements will change on a weekly basis.
We’ve included the official release notes for this firmware update down below, as release by Nintendo.
