Hacker Claims Nintendo Switch 2 Hacked, Shows Modified Mario Kart World

With the development and spread of AI technologies, tech enthusiasts and hackers have gained powerful tools that help them find loopholes in protection. It seems that an approach to the Nintendo Switch 2 console has recently been found.

A post by a user named pepsipu went viral on social media, claiming to have hacked the Nintendo Switch 2. The California Institute of Technology student and security researcher demonstrated gameplay of a modified console exclusive:

I hacked the Nintendo Switch 2. I added Cinnamoroll, Peter Griffin, Hatsune Miku, and more characters to Mario Kart World — a Switch 2 exclusive. Take a look at how bots crushed me and my friends.

The presented pepsipu jailbreak is a “tethered jailbreak,” meaning it will not persist after a device reboot. Nevertheless, the very fact of bypassing protection and the ability to modify games for Switch 2, saving file copies outside the console — is already a significant technical achievement.

The capabilities of artificial intelligence are now used not only for hacking security systems. With the help of AI agents, some enthusiasts “develop” cooperative modifications for various games, and also create unofficial PC versions of console exclusives.
