A modder known as pepsipu announced on October 22, 2026, that they successfully jailbroke the Nintendo Switch 2. The exploit allows for the integration of custom characters into the exclusive title Mario Kart World, with the modder demonstrating the hack using figures such as Hatsune Miku and Cinnamoroll.
The technical process behind this modification is described as highly complex. It requires users to purchase the programming software SmileBASIC 4 from the Nintendo eShop for $25. The modder utilized generative AI to facilitate the jailbreak, reflecting a broader trend of AI-assisted hacking currently impacting major console manufacturers.
Despite the claims, the exploit is not a permanent or user-friendly solution. According to reports, the hack is difficult for the average player to implement and resets entirely whenever the console is powered off, necessitating a full repetition of the setup process after every shutdown.
This development arrives as companies like Sony also face increased security challenges from AI-driven homebrew efforts. While Nintendo may eventually address this specific vulnerability, the incident highlights the growing influence of AI-coding tools like Claude Opus 5.5 on community-led console modifications.
