Unverified: first homebrew game made with the HBLauncher SDK
Follow-up to the HBLauncher story. Reddit user u/FR0GG1D posted (r/switch2hacks) a short video of a Snake game running on Switch 2, made with the HBLauncher SDK. According to the author, SmileBASIC only loads a small starter program that lets a computer use the console's graphics chip (GPU); the game itself runs on the GPU and, once loaded, keeps running without the computer and without Wi-Fi. He says he will make another game.

Context
Nothing changed in the jailbreak status: it is still research / proof of concept on firmware 23.0.1, through ns2jb, with no access to the system core (kernel), no native apps and no CFW. Close the app and it's all gone. Reactions on Reddit were split: many found it minor and criticized the use of AI.
