Hackers Begin Dumping Nintendo Switch 2 Games As Expanded Exploit Breaks Console Security

Thanks to the efforts of a few hackers and the support of generative AI models, the first jailbreak for the Nintendo Switch 2 was recently found. Utilizing a copy of the now-delisted Switch app SmileBASIC, a limited exploit allowed for users to mod games, install homebrew with the potential to then pirate new games, and download and back up save files. Still, this discovery was limited in the extent to which it could be used to compromise the console’s security. Now, however, hackers have broken beyond these limits using new exploits to further compromise the system security.
