## Summary

Minecraft’s Switch 2 version has received update 26.60, released on 27 October 2026, shortly after the game launched on the console. It adds experimental features centred on icy environments and includes fixes aimed at improving performance, including better split-screen play on Switch 2.

The experimental additions include Ice Caves beneath colder Overworld biomes, with Ice Crystals that emit light and Icicles that can fall and cause damage. A new Frostbite zombie can attack at close range with freezing effects or throw ice balls, while the Freezing effect can reduce jump height and eventually cause damage; leather armour helps protect against freezing. The published notes also cover many other fixes and technical changes.
