It adds Polish language support, and according to the official patch notes, fixes for several issues to improve the overall experience.

This comes hot on the heels of a free Switch 2 update for Donkey Kong Country Returns HD which delivers a host of upgrades, including sharper graphics, smoother resolution, and lightning-fast load times, plus GameShare support.

Players can step into the shoes of Dixie Kong in both single-player and local co-op, while a brand-new Turbo Attack mode has also been added.
