This page documents the update history of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. All additions, fixes and changes are grouped together by the update they were introduced. Some updates have corresponding '''Changelogs''' that can be accessed by clicking on the update itself. The changelogs record all gameplay adjustments introduced in the update, which are categorized by character and attached to a symbol that annotates the effect of the adjustment. A green symbol signals a definite buff. A red symbol signals a definite nerf. A blue symbol signals a neutral adjustment. A yellow symbol signals a relation to a glitch. The "Universal" category refers to adjustments to the game as a whole instead a single character.
