Latest Version Update (Ver. 11.1.0)

As of April 2026, Splatoon 3 has received significant updates and major DLC expansions that have extended the game's lifespan well beyond its initial launch window.

Before proceeding, it is important to understand what these terms mean in the context of the Nintendo Switch homebrew scene:

  • Switch (V1/V2/OLED/Mariko): The game runs at dynamic 1080p docked / 720p handheld, targeting 60 FPS. The 8.1.0 update improves frame pacing during Inkjet specials.
  • Switch Lite: Same performance, but smaller screen can make aiming difficult in Side Order’s tight corridors.
  • Emulators (Ryujinx 1.2+): With Vulkan backend, you can upscale to 4K. However, shader compilation stutters are common on first playthrough.
  • Verify patch notes for known issues; install subsequent hotfixes.
