Nintendo Switch 2 Jailbroken via Software Exploit

• •The ns2jb exploit allows for running modified content on the Switch 2.
• •This jailbreak is tethered and does not survive console reboots.
• •The exploit leverages vulnerabilities from the Switch 1's backward compatibility.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been jailbroken using a software-only exploit named ns2jb, developed by pepsipu. This exploit allows running modified content, demonstrated through a modified version of Mario Kart World. It works on firmware version 23.0.1 and does not require a hardware modchip, but it is tethered, meaning it does not persist after a reboot. The exploit leverages vulnerabilities from the Switch 1 version of SmileBASIC, allowing for native code execution with elevated permissions. However, it does not provide a permanent custom firmware solution. Developer Gezine has corroborated the credibility of the exploit, stating it seems legitimate. The current status of the exploit remains limited due to its tethered nature, and further development is needed for broader functionality.
