Today, we’re going over the history of the “free update” business model of certain first-party games released for Switch. Free updates and DLC weren’t quite as common for Nintendo games back in the Wii U and 3DS era. Company culture changes aside, one possible reason for this is that those consoles could only store so much extra data and updates for their games (with Super Smash Bros. pushing the limits of this restriction). Needless to say, things have sort of changed during the Switch era. Free updates have gone from a nice bonus to… something else, we’ll say. Here are some of the most prominent examples of Switch games that relied on a free update content cycle, and what these updates added to each game.

Helldivers 2 is well regarded for being a difficult, even overwhelming, game most of the time, but the most surprising thing about it is the fact that it can be scaled.
