You can now get free Joy-Con repairs if they're suffering from drift even outside of warranty, courtesy of Nintendo's new policy change.
Nintendo Switch owners will know that Joy-Cons are prone to drifting and repairs that can often cost more than replacements, but Nintendo has committed to offering them for free. A recent change on the Nintendo Support page for what it refers to as responsiveness syndrome (more infamously known as drifting) outlines the policy change.
The company has confirmed that due to the pride it takes in producing high-quality and durable products, it will be extending its free drifting repair programme to the UK, the European Economic Area and Switzerland. This is already in place in the USA and other territories across the globe.
