Nintendo Today! App Updated To Version 4.1.0, Adds Some New Features
Nintendo has released Version 4.1.0 of its Nintendo Today! mobile app, a minor update that follows the recent addition of a Fire Emblem theme. The update improves theme customisation and ties in with the upcoming Gamescom event, giving users a couple of small but welcome new options rather than any major overhaul.
The headline addition lets users select multiple themes at once, with one chosen at random to display each day, alongside unspecified bug fixes to improve usability. The app has also gained an in-person Gamescom feature allowing attendees to hunt for hidden Pikmin at the venue, ahead of the event's Opening Night Live on 25th August 2026 and its run through to 30th August.
- Nintendo Today! app updated to version 4.1.0 with minor new features
- Users can now select and randomise multiple app themes
- New in-person Pikmin hunt feature added for Gamescom, starting 25th August

Nintendo Today! is a free mobile app from Nintendo that gives fans a small daily dose of content, including changeable visual themes tied to its games and franchises. It works a bit like a daily calendar or homepage, refreshing with new artwork and information each day, and Nintendo periodically updates it with new features and design options.
Gamescom is one of the world's largest video game trade events, held annually in Cologne, Germany, where major publishers including Nintendo showcase upcoming releases to press and the public. Nintendo Today! app updates sometimes tie in with such events, offering app users extra content or in-person activities linked to what is happening at the show.
Pikmin is a long-running Nintendo game series featuring small plant-like creatures, and it is being used here as the basis for a location-based activity for people attending Gamescom in person. These sorts of updates matter mainly to existing Nintendo fans and app users, as they represent incremental additions to a companion app rather than changes to any of Nintendo's games or hardware.
