Fumi Games and PlaySide have released the initial patch for Mouse: P.I. for Hire on the Nintendo Switch 2. The update, bringing the game to version 1.0.6, tackles a variety of issues that have affected players since the game's launch on April 16, 2026.

Bug Fixes and Graphical Improvements

The patch addresses critical bugs such as game crashes that occurred when the system language was set to Traditional Chinese. Players experiencing graphical problems in 'The Reel Deal' or collision issues within the 'Mouseburg Opera' mini-boss arena should find these resolved. Progression blockers in levels like 'Far Wetlands' and 'Curdsville' have also been fixed, alongside improvements to enemy pathing in 'Quagmire' and adjustments to the final boss's behavior in 'The Reel Deal'. Specific issues with D-Namite animations and shotgun-wielding enemies not dealing damage have been corrected.

Further refinements include ensuring quests and collectibles can be properly obtained, preventing players from getting stuck in level geometry or sequences, and fixing disappearing NPCs or quest items. Sound effects for menu elements have been corrected, and end-game music playback has been adjusted.

Privacy and Future Updates

A notable addition is the ability for players to opt out of data tracking and statistical analysis directly within the game's settings menu, rather than solely during initial setup. The game's privacy policy has also been updated.

This initial patch is just the first step. Developers have confirmed that a second, more substantial update is planned for the Nintendo Switch 2. This upcoming patch is expected to bring quality of life enhancements, additional bug fixes, and importantly, performance and optimization improvements. More details are anticipated in the coming weeks.
