A new update has been released on Nintendo Switch, bringing the console up to version 14.0.0. While Nintendo has released a number of smaller updates for the console over the last few years, this one is pretty significant, adding at least one welcome change. The biggest part of today’s update is that users will now be able to group software on the Home screen. Users will now be able to create up to 100 different groups, with up to 200 titles in each. It sounds similar to how folders were handled on 3DS, and it should make it a lot easier for players to de-clutter their home screen!
Full patch notes from Nintendo’s official website can be found below:

Now that the groups feature has been added to Switch, it will be interesting to see if Nintendo offers any further customization features. For example, on 3DS, players were able to decorate their folders using badges obtained from Nintendo Badge Arcade. Perhaps Nintendo could add further customization options, but for now, we’ll just have to wait and see!
