May 2, 2025
‘SwitchShift,’ a new exploit for Nintendo Switch 2 on firmware 1.0.0, emerged on X, exploiting save data flaws. Using a modified microSD and a vulnerable eShop game, it enables homebrew and emulators. This tethered exploit requires re-execution on each boot, appealing to modders. Nintendo is likely preparing a patch, and users risk bans with untrusted files. Details are sparse to limit abuse, but SwitchShift sparks early Switch 2 hacking interest, raising online play concerns. #Switch2 #GamingExploits
