Homebrew FortPatcherNX - Play Fortnite on banned switches

[YoshiCrystal]

We aren´t responsible of any Epic Games account being banned, do this at your own risk!

LATEST UPDATE: 40.40.0
This exlaunch build patches Fortnite each update so you guys don't have to wait for me to update the patches and apply them, this patches the game on the fly. I'll still be making the patches just in case something breaks.

This requires you to have a second Nintendo Switch to update Fortnite locally to your banned console in order to play latest version.

Once you have the latest version of Fortnite installed in your banned console, download FortPatcherAutoUpdate.7z and drop it to the root of your sd card.

If you plan on playing latest, you may need this launcher. Follow the instructions inside the homebrew app to be able to login with your Epic account.

If you'll be playing on older versions, keep using the patches instead.

Patches Source Code: Github <-- Download here
Launcher Source Code: Github <-- Recently updated to support new libnx + fixes unable to auth.

If you would like to support me in some way, you can use code YOSHICRYSTAL on the item shop, I would appreciate it a lot

I haven’t tried anything like this with Fortnite, though—it sounds like a pretty complex setup, especially needing a second Switch to make it work! I remember helping a friend with a homebrew app for their Wii years ago, and even that was a learning curve.

I stumbled across ssz.gg once while researching Fortnite tools. It’s fascinating how many resources are out there, but messing with patches or mods always comes with risks. It’s cool if you’re into it for the challenge, but definitely something to approach carefully—losing an account or console isn’t worth it.

I've been waiting for such a hack for what seems like 4 years already! I had even lost hope that I would ever play on a banned console But the mod really works! Already playing in LEGO mode. YoshiCrystal, thank you so much!

To be fair, you only need a single switch if you plan to get the Fortnite nsp in... ways you're not supposed to

Hi, is this working?

I read in the first mesage that Epic Games patched it (Aug 24, 2025) but the latest patches release is dated 4 days ago (Oct 17, 2025)...
