A '''software update''' (also known as an '''update''') refers to changes made to an existing piece of software, after its release. This may include either updates downloaded via the internet, or updates printed onto game discs after a certain point. In the {{ps}}, only {{p3}}, {{p3d}}, and {{pb}} have received downloadable updates after their release. Outside of the ''Pikmin'' franchise, titles with Pikmin content such as {{ssb4}} and {{ssbu}} have also received updates.

Software updates are typically meant to fix [[glitch]]es, though some may also change gameplay or [[controls|control]] elements, or add additional content.

==In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2''==
Due to the inability to modify the game after it has been printed to a physical disc, updates to these games are only available as new discs made after the initial release. A number, both physically etched on the inside and present within the game data, denotes which version of the game the disc contains. '''0''' represents the initial release, while '''1''', '''2''', or more represents the number of times the game has had a version update. These numbers are also commonly known as 1.00, 1.01, or 1.02 respectively.

An example of an update in ''Pikmin'' can be found in the Japanese release. Changes from previous copies include:
* Version 1.02 onward fixes the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Sunset cutscene softlock|sunset cutscene softlock]]. 
* The ability to go up the rim of the tree trunk in [[The Impact Site]] by walking onto it from the cardboard box was added in version 1.02.
* In version 1.01, If the player whistles several Pikmin together they counter would gradually increase. In version 1.02 however, the Pikmin counter for the Pikmin in the group will instantly jump from the old number to the final number. this error was fixed in all versions after 1.02.

==In ''Pikmin 3''==
{{todo|Finding the size of each update would be grand.}}
{{p3}}'s updates are downloaded off the internet, and each one upgrades the game to a new version. With the release of most of these updates, [[downloadable content]] was added to the eShop, and the first stage in a bundle is added to the game for free upon updating. When the player updates their game, all available updates are installed at once, and the game is set to the latest version right away.

Although it is possible to uninstall the updates from the console and return to the original 1.0.0 version, it is not possible to install a version between the first one and the latest one.

===List of ''Pikmin 3'' updates===
====Version 1.1.0====
The first update to the game was released on {{date|25|July|2013}}, and is around 70MB in size.{{cite web|http://expansivedlc.com/pikmin-3-1-1-0-adds-spotpass-data-and-miiverse-functionality/|Pikmin 3 1.1.0 adds SpotPass data and Miiverse functionality|Expansive}}

* This update adds SpotPass and [[Miiverse]] compatibility, as well as the ability to view world record scores for game completion.

====Version 1.2.0====
Released on {{date|1|October|2013}}.
 
* With the update, five new [[Collect treasure!]] stages are added to the game as downloadable content. These stages are remixes of previous [[Mission Mode]] stages. The stage [[Tropical Forest Remix]] is given free of charge upon updating, while the others must be purchased in a bundle from the Nintendo eShop, for $1.99 / €1.99 / £1.79:
** [[Silver Lake Remix]]
** [[Thirsty Desert Remix]]
** [[Twilight Hollow Remix]]
** [[Shaded Garden Remix]]

* Additionally, a new online mode has been added, allowing players to view the world record scores for each stage, Solo or Co-Op.

====Version 1.3.0====
Released on {{date|6|November|2013}}.

* This update adds no new features, but gives for free the first out of five new [[Battle enemies!]] stages, added to the game as downloadable content. These stages are based off of certain parts of [[areas]] from Story Mode. The stage [[Tropical Wilds Remix]] is given free of charge upon updating, while the others can be purchased as a bundle on the eShop for $1.99 / €1.99 / £1.79:
** [[Garden of Hope Remix]]
** [[Distant Tundra Remix]]
** [[Twilight River Remix]]
** [[Formidable Oak Remix]]

====Version 1.4.0====
Released on {{date|2|December|2013}}.

* This update provides for free one of the new five Collect treasure! stages and one of the new five Battle enemies! stages. The stage [[Fortress of Festivity]] is given free of charge in both modes, upon updating.
** These stages are brand new, and are themed on human-made environments, such as an abandoned construction site or a living room decorated for Christmas. 
** Other stages function differently, with one stage being partially two-dimensional. One stage, however, is a re-skin of [[The Forest Navel]], probably due to the fact that it is the only [[area]] not "remade" in ''Pikmin 2'' &ndash; its name, [[Forgotten Cove]], further accentuates this.
** Olimar and Louie are playable in certain stages. Olimar is available from the start, but Louie is usually trapped or being held by an enemy. By defeating the enemy and carrying Louie back to the SPERO, the player gains access to him.

* The following stages have been added, besides Fortress of Festivity. The entire pack costs $4.99 / €4.99 / £4.79 on the eShop:
** [[The Rustyard]]
** [[Beastly Caverns]]
** [[Forgotten Cove]]
** [[Clockwork Chasm]]

* This update also changes the way leaders act when they fall into the [[Pit|abyss]] &ndash; they now receive damage (one third of their maximum health), and respawn differently, rendering some [[Glitches in Pikmin 3|glitches]] impossible. 
** These adjusted respawn points include the first bridge in the [[Garden of Hope]], the [[electrical gate]] near the [[Dusk Pustules]] in the Garden of Hope, and leaders that fall off behind the [[paper bag]] near the [[Winged Onion]] in the [[Twilight River]].

====Version 2.0.0====
{{game help|p3|What about moving and throwing and such? Also, add the remaining controls for other control schemes. Finally, confirm all strings.}}
The final update to the game was released on {{date|29|May|2014}}.

* This update offers a new [[Controls|control]] mode involving the GamePad, using only the touchscreen and the left-side buttons and sticks. This mode works similar to the control scheme from ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''. When playing with the new Stylus mode, 3 buttons are added to the touchpad, used for deploying [[ultra-spicy spray]], [[dismiss]]ing the squad or ordering them to [[charge]], and accessing the KopPad's apps. To switch between leaders, the player must tap their icon. The [[whistle]] button is moved from {{button|wiiu|zr}} to {{button|wiiu|l}}. Other controls remain the same.
** When the player starts the game for the first time after this update is installed, a message appears saying "GamePad control style has been set to [Stylus]". Players can switch back to the original controls via the menu. 
** Because of this, a new button appears on the [[pause menu]], to switch between Classic GamePad mode to Stylus mode, even if the player is not playing with the GamePad.

* When [[Lock-on|locked-on]], two new lines of text appear, saying "{{button|wii|z|wiiu|zl}} = Cancel Lock On" and {{button|wiiu|b|wii|nunchukshake}} = Charge". When an explorer is under the Go Here function, if the player switches to them, a message will appear saying "{{button|wii|b|wiiu|b}} = Cancel Go Here". The background on the "{{button|wii|+|wiiu|+}} Skip Cutscene" label was now changed to black instead of transparent.
*Other improvements:
** The ability to speed up the fruit squeezing and drinking animations at the end of the day was added. 
** A button to retry a mission at the Mission Mode [[Mission results menu|results screen]] was added.
** Several major [[Glitches in Pikmin 3|glitches]] were fixed. 
** Finally, this version{{source needed}} also made it possible to perform the [[Pluck#Pluck cancel trick|pluck cancel trick]].

==In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''==
{{p3d}}, being on the [[Nintendo Switch]], can receive updates from the the home screen or the Nintendo eShop when connected to the internet. Nearly all of the content added from the Wii U version's updates is retained here, including its paid DLC.

{{pb}}, being a mobile game, receives updates much more often than a game a console game, through the App Store (on iOS) or the Google Play Store (on Android). The two operating systems originally had slightly different version histories due to their different requirements, but started releasing in tandem in 2022. As the game requires an internet connection to play, having the game on a recent version is necessary to play the game. The update descriptions below have some text copied from the official update logs, some text based on the official update logs, and some text describing changes not mentioned in the update logs.
