The 3.0.1 update has just arrived for Splatoon 3, and here’s the complete list of changes and fixes added with this patch. The game has been around since last year and was received quite solid feedback from Nintendo Switch owners. Like its predecessors in the Splatoon series, the game consists of online multiplayer (player versus player and player versus environment) alongside a single-player campaign. Unlike the previous ones, the latest version is not extensive, so do not expect anything major but a few fixes. Make sure you get the latest version for a better gameplay experience, the dev says. Check out the Splatoon 3 3.0.1 update patch notes below.

Ver. 3.0.1 (Released March 8, 2023)
Fixes to Notifications
- Fixed an issue that sometimes caused notifications to be sent to a user’s friends, even if that friend’s system Friend Settings were set to only display their online status to “Best Friends” or “No One.”
- If a user and their friends are connected to the same Pool, notifications will continue to display regardless of their Friend Settings.
Note: Compatible with Ver. 3.0.0 battle replays. Not compatible with Ver. 2.1.1 or earlier battle replays.

Changes to the Notifications Feature – Splatoon 3 Update 3.0.1 Patch Notes
- Added the Pool feature.
- The Pool feature allows players to send and receive notifications with other players in the same Pool.
- Players can enter a phrase to join a Pool by opening the Lobby menu, selecting the Notifications tab, and pressing the + Button.
- For example, if you enter “Turf War Fans,” you’ll be able to send and receive notifications with players who have also entered “Turf War Fans,” and you will be able to join or drop in on each other’s games using notifications.
- While there isn’t a limit on how many people can join the same Pool, there may be cases in which notifications won’t be sent to all members if a large number of players are connected to the same Pool simultaneously.
- When you receive an invitation to play or a “Fresh!” notification, it will be displayed on the screen.
