Nintendo Switch hacking team Reswitched have announced they will be releasing a Custom Firmware solution compatible with all firmwares of the Switch (for the current hardware revision of the console). The release is expected around this summer.

The release will consist in Fusée Gelée (an exploit chain relying on faults on the Nvidia Tegra) and the actual Custom Firmware, Atmosphere.

This stream of announces happens in the context of Team Xecuter stating they have an upcoming hardware hack for the Nintendo Switch. KTemkin makes it clear in the FAQ that preventing Team Xecuter from turning a profit is a nice side effect of this upcoming release:

“Not just do they publicly endorse piracy, and seek to profit from keeping information to a few people, but they’re also willing to drop a 0-day that affects a broad swathe of devices on the public without any responsible disclosure.

All in all, I think that Team Xecuter seems to be without morals or scruples, and I am happy to do as much as I can to reduce their profitability and thus disincentivize these kinds of awful behaviors.”
