Version 2.1.1 (Splatoon 3)

Version 2.1.1 is an update to Splatoon 3 that released on 2023-02-09 at July 27, 2024. This update provided a bonus to players who pre-ordered the Splatoon 3: Expansion Pass, with some minor bug fixes.

Expansion Pass order bonus available

 * Players who order the Splatoon 3: Expansion Pass – Inkopolis & Side Order DLC will receive an in-game battle-boosting bonus.
 * To collect your battle-boosting bonus, you must first purchase and download the DLC content. Then start the game, visit the lobby terminal, and select Get Stuff.

Fixes to player controls

 * Fixed an issue that caused communication to be interrupted while performing certain actions with the Splattershot Jr. or Custom Splattershot Jr. weapons, even if those actions can usually be performed.
 * Fixed an issue that caused ink to be displayed incorrectly if a Slosher and a Tri-Slosher both attacked at the same time.
 * Fixed an issue where there could be a delay in recovering from existing damage if you were within range of an attack from a Wave Breaker or Big Shot and avoided taking damage by jumping or other means.

Fixes to multiplayer

 * Fixed an issue where players between terrain and a Tacticooler could clip inside the terrain if the Tacticooler was set up in the corner of the terrain.
 * Due to this change, you will now be able to pass through the Tacticooler—even in Inkling or OctolingOctoling form—while performing an action that causes you to move quickly, such as a Dodge Roll while using a dualie weapon.
 * Fixed an issue in Brinewater Springs where players could get onto rocks outside the stage.

Other fixes

 * Fixed an issue that occurred while replaying Tricolor Turf War battles where the cheers from Deep Cut would sometimes be for teams other than the ones in the battle.
 * Fixed an issue that occurred while replaying job scenarios in the Shoal. If the replay contained weapons labeled with a question mark, it could cause the screen to go black and prevent the game from starting.

Note: Compatible with Ver. 2.1.0 battle replays. Not compatible with Ver. 2.0.1 or earlier battle replays.

Unlisted changes
Version 2.1.0 introduced a bug where certain objects in the Tricolor Turf War layout of Mincemeat Metalworks would be invisible to the players, while the collision was still there. This update fixed the issue in preparation for the Dark Chocolate vs. Milk Chocolate vs. White Chocolate Splatfest, despite not yet being playable in-game before then.
