Nintendo has introduced another reported barrier to the first known Nintendo Switch 2 jailbreak by requiring system updates for SmileBASIC and Civilization VII, according to TwistedVoxel.
TwistedVoxel reported that the restriction is intended to make it more difficult for users to exploit the console through SmileBASIC and Civilization VII. The report describes the move as a further restriction targeting the jailbreak.
The supplied report does not provide technical details about how the update requirement operates. It also does not include official confirmation from Nintendo, so the restriction and its effect remain attributed to TwistedVoxel's reporting. TwistedVoxel published the report on November 12, 2026.
