Nintendo Switch 2 jailbreak created with OpenAI Codex, says modder

The jailbreak is tethered, meaning it must be launched from a game each time the console powers on. It relies on the title SmileBASIC 4, a programming game, although another modder has suggested the game may not be strictly required. The technique appears complex for most users, and the broader impact remains unclear; discussions on the Switch 2 hacks subreddit are debating how significant the exploit is. If AI‑assisted tools continue to aid modders, the Switch 2 could see a series of similar exploits in the near future.
