Experimental app streams PC games to Switch 2 from a homebrew menu, but cannot be used yet
On November 13, 2026, developer Azkali presented moonlight-nx2, a homebrew app in the classic Switch 1 format: it opens from a homebrew menu, the one that lists and starts fan-made programs. The app streams to Switch 2 the games that run on a computer: the game stays on the PC and the picture is sent to the console over the network, decoded by the console itself. According to the author, it also supports touch, sound and up to 4 controllers. It cannot be used day to day yet, because it depends on kaiHEN 0.0.4, a homebrew enabler that is not public yet. Switch2Unlock has not tested the app.

Context
The author describes kaiHEN as a Switch 2 homebrew enabler that opens a menu similar to the one on Switch 1, and says SmileBASIC and Civilization VII will be compatible once it is released. The moonlight-nx2 0.1.0-rc12 release notes mention kaiHEN 0.0.4. Since the 23.5.0 update on November 9 and the block on November 12, the known entry points depend on a console on 23.0.1 or earlier; that is only context, and the author did not state kaiHEN’s firmware. See also the news on streaming through CivSwitch and on the SmileBASIC and Civilization VII block. Switch2Unlock does not provide games, keys or firmware, does not publish step-by-step guides and does not encourage installation.
