Developers have shown early, privately built demos of Nintendo Switch 2 games running on an iPhone and on PC. The available evidence describes limited progress, with no public builds to verify and no indication of broad compatibility.

Developer Will Faust posted footage of Mario Kart World running on an iPhone 18 Pro using a private nxnative fork; Faust said it uses just under 6.5 GB of physical memory.
A private PC build of the Eden emulator reportedly boots Splatoon Raiders to character select, but the demo lags and lacks features; a separate claim about DK Bananza was accompanied only by an image.
The report says these are early demos with nothing public to verify, and that the Switch 2 jailbreak remains tethered, without a kernel exploit or custom firmware.
