Question Question regarding update 6.2

So I haven't updated to update 6.2 on my Switch. I am still on 6.1 and I am using homebrew by using a jig and I haven't updated because I am waiting so I can use checkpoint for a Smash Ultimate save file when the game comes out.

I bought the game digital. But my question is, am I going to have to update to 6.2 when the game unlocks on December 7th? I heard that 6.2 forces you to update to the current update if you want to use the internet.

Also since I use a jig to get to homebrew. What's the step now to get homebrew on 6.2?

 

Sounds good. Alls I have to do is download the files and just run RCM to get to CFW?

 

Thank you!
