Cracking group Team-Xecuter has demonstrated its hack of the Nintendo Switch console, TorrentFreak reported.

The group said that their solution will work on any Nintendo Switch regardless of the currently installed firmware and will be completely future-proof.

“This is the solution for opening up custom firmware on the Nintendo Switch,” the group said.

As proof of their achievement, Team-Xecuter posted the decryption key for stage 2 of the Nintendo Switch bootloader and encouraged sceptics to test it.

The hack has not been released, but the group said it expects to make it available sometime between March and May.
