Nintendo Requires Latest Update For SmileBASIC And Civilization VII

Nintendo now requires the latest Nintendo Switch 2 system update to be installed before SmileBASIC and Civilization VII can be launched.

Both games have been used to run a system jailbreak on the Switch 2. Earlier reports had already pointed to these two titles as the way in.

Today, you can only run those games once the latest firmware is installed, and that update breaks the jailbreak element of both. If your console is not updated but is connected to the internet, you will lose access to the two games.

Nintendo appears to be working to stop the system from being exploited. The site notes that only a small group of users is trying to open up the system, but the company still has a long fight on its hands.
