It's been a while and I'm getting back into the scene. Everything is currently working fine for my older games, but now that it's 2026 I am wondering if i need to update anything on my switch?:
Here's my information below on what I have installed:
I’m currently on firmware 18.1.0 with Atmosphere 1.7.1 and running EmuMMC on a modchipped OLED Switch:

It's been a while and I'm getting back into the scene. Everything is currently working fine for my older games, but now that it's 2026 I am wondering if i need to update anything on my switch?:
- Do I need to update anything to play the latest games? If so when do you need to update your switch?
- Are my sysmodules or apps outdated enough to cause issues?
- Is it worth updating Hekate from 6.2.1 to latest?
- Anything I need to remove that's no longer relevant?
- Do I need to update Android (LineageOS 18.1), or is it fine to leave as-is?
