Any time you try to exit out of Minecraft, both the game and Nintendo Switch freeze for long periods of time. You can't access any menus or turn off the console. The 1.16.20 hotfix says that crashing issues have been addressed, but it seems to have made it worse. I had never had this problem before, and it is extremely frequent now.

When playing Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch in the 1.16.2 update, the game causes the console to crash every time you try to close out of it.
