Splatoon 3 has received a new update today, bumping the game up to Version 5.2.0. One of the major highlights is there's now added support for the Shiver, Frye, and the Big Man amiibo.
Apart from this, players can also look forward to some season and catalog changes and there are adjustments to notifications. Just keep in mind that certain battle replays are not compatible with this version of the game.
In addition to this, the Splatoon 3 Tournament Manager is now also live. Although it's not mentioned in the patch notes, it has been featured on Nintendo's social channels:
