LEGOยฎ MINDSTORMSยฎ NXT software downloads

The last time the LEGOยฎ MINDSTORMSยฎ NXT software was updated was in 2013 when we launched its successor, the EV3. Since then, we havenโ€™t officially supported the NXT software and canโ€™t guarantee itโ€™ll work on newer systems.

Thankfully, the EV3 software is compatible with the NXT Intelligent Brick and components, although Bluetooth isnโ€™t supported, and the NXT firmware canโ€™t be updated or reset.
