Nintendo released a new Switch 2 firmware update on Tuesday that came with a few albeit not significant changes to the portable console. It appears, however, this update might have bricked some third-party docks for the console in the process.

Switch 2 owners on social media say their third-party docks are no longer working with their systems after downloading firmware update 21.0.0 , as first reported by Kotaku on Thursday. It's unclear what in the firmware may have caused the issue, but it does appear that it primarily affects dock dongles , which plug directly into the Switch instead of the typical cradle-style docks that require the console to be placed in them.

Nintendo says it doesn't have any intention to hinder or invalidate third-party docks.
