When starting the new Switch 2 Star Fox remake for the first time, make sure to download the day one patch to ensure you get access to the multiplayer Battle Mode and the Campaign’s easy difficulty level. Both are included in the 1.1.0 download that launched ahead of the full launch on June 25, 2026. Whether you go with a physical copy or digital one, starting the game for the first time when connected to the internet should result in a prompt letting you know the patch is live. In the case of the Easy Star Fox Campaign, that adjusts how powerful the Arwing will be. Its HP bar will be longer, allowing you to survive longer. The laser will also be at full strength, making it easier to damage others. As for the Star Fox Battle Mode, that features three areas with different types of objectives Corneria, Fischina, and Sector Y are all options. Going to them lets you do things like attempt to hold a position to take it for your time, collect the most energy by destroying meteors and grabbing what they leave behind, and dealing with space pirates to recover the items they stole and bring it to your base before your opponents can. The Avatar Settings, which feature prominently in this mode, are also unlocked in the Star Fox day one patch. The Star Fox day one patch also fixes some issues that would normally come up in the Campaign and Challenge modes. Here’s the full list of those adjustments. Fixed an issue where, on the level select screen, pressing the Achievements and Replay Mission buttons at the same time could, in rare cases, prevent the game from progressing. Fixed an issue where, after passing a checkpoint and collecting three gold rings to gain an extra life, selecting Restart → Checkpoint from the pause menu and then selecting Quit from the pause menu could result in losing one life. Fixed an issue on Meteo where repeatedly using boost and overtaking the boss would make the level impossible to complete. Fixed an issue on Solar where repeatedly using boost right after defeating the boss and overtaking it would prevent the transition to the next scene and make the level impossible to complete. Fixed an issue on Aquas where hitting a shell-protected Garoa using a torpedo would incorrectly add to the bonus hit count. Fixed an issue on Meteo where hitting a Flip Bot with a charged shot would incorrectly add to the bonus hit count from the explosion. Fixed an issue on Venom where, if your Arwing was destroyed and you restarted immediately after defeating the boss, the hit count from the boss defeat would be added. Fixed an issue on Bolse where hitting an enemy ship with a force field using a charged shot would sometimes incorrectly add to the hit count. Fixed incorrect challenge text on Solar: “Score 25 hits using bombs against enemies and rocks” has been corrected to “Destroy 25 enemies and rocks with bombs.” Fixed an issue in Sector X where the “Destroy 10 Proximity Mines with a single bomb” challenge would sometimes not be recognised as completed even when the conditions were met. Fixed an issue on Venom where the “Defeat the Golemech without taking damage from any hazards in its tunnel” challenge could be completed even after taking damage from hitting a stone statue.
