NXFW has published Firmware 23.5.0 under the exact version tag 23.5.0. The release was published on November 10, 2026, and adds the new package to the repository’s Nintendo Switch firmware archive.
The download is named FW-23.5.0.zip and has a listed size of 340,579,092 bytes. NXFW organizes its firmware downloads with the FW-X.X.X.zip naming format, so the version is easy to identify alongside other archived releases.
FAT and exFAT files identified
The release notes identify two NCA files for this firmware version. The FAT entry is 882887ab27c1d9afadefb3760d8b3357.nca, while the exFAT entry is 16dc2da330952377f1352832606308d6.nca.
These entries represent the two storage-format variants documented for the package. The release notes do not provide additional system changes, compatibility information, performance results or bug fixes, so the documented update is the availability of Firmware 23.5.0 and its two listed NCA variants.
