Nintendo Switch - Are the games in the Nintendo E-Store updated with updates as well as the games you've already downloaded?

Today I bought the games "Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Gold Edition" and "Starlink Battle for Atlas Deluxe Edition" because of a discount promotion and I was a bit surprised then, because no additional updates were downloaded. I also could not download any updates via the Plus button menu because the versions of the two games are supposed to be up to date.

In the internet, I read an old report in which it said that there had been for Starlink on the Nintendo Switch a 1-day patch, which had a size of 6 GB. If there were also a few updates for Mario + Rabbids I could not find out on the internet.

Is this normal or have I now bought 2 faulty games?

Dr

Updates are automatically downloaded with.

So yes, it's normal.

The updates are usually always downloaded after the download of a game and not together with the game. That did not happen with the two games I mentioned.

So I asked myself if the update versions of the games you have not bought / downloaded in the Nintendo e-shop have also been updated and you do not have to download any updates after the purchase.

Dr

With me, all updates are downloaded with the game as soon as I have run one.

de

Okay, with me it is only set so that always a small message appears after an update has been downloaded and this time, but there was none.

Dr

Yes. Because the update is automatically included and therefore no new one has been downloaded.

The games are patched directly to the servers. You then download the latest version and do not have to download extra stuff.

Dss makes the download smaller because no duplicate content needs to be loaded.

Well then thank you for your help and I'm sorry if I got on your nerves in any way!
