Nintendo will now fix Joy-Con drift issues for free in the UK, even if the controller's warranty has expired

Nintendo Switch Joy-Con

Nintendo has pledged to fix faulty Switch Joy-Con controllers in more territories, including the UK, even if they are out-of-warranty.

In an update on the official Nintendo Support page (thanks, Nintendo Life), the company says, "Nintendo takes great pride in creating high-quality and durable products and is continuously making improvements to them. Therefore and until further notice, Nintendo offers to consumers who purchased the respective product in the EEA, UK and Switzerland that repairs for responsiveness syndrome relating to control sticks will be conducted at no charge by official Nintendo repair centres."
