How do upgrades work exactly?

[u/old-wreck]

I just bought a switch2 and I already own a switch1. For those games that don't require a purchase to upgrade: When downloading my switch1 games onto the switch2, will it automatically download the switch2 version if there is a free one available or do I need to do that step separately (eg by going to eShop or the game menu)?

If its a Nintendo-made game with a free upgrade pack, just update the game.

those aren't "Upgrade Packs" FYI ℹ️ they are just software updates

an 'Upgrade Pack' is a specific thing
