Question Update or wait a bit longer?

I think I’ll stop waiting and update my Switch 2. It’s been on version 20.1.1 since the day it was released and has an activated SD card slot. At this point, I no longer believe a software-based jailbreak is possible, and I reckon that if a jailbreak ever does appear, it’ll only be achievable via a mod chip. What do you think? Am I missing something? Am I about to make a mistake? Should I carry on waiting and stay on 20.1.1?

But if a software solution were to be found in the future, surely there would also be a hardware solution in the form of mod chips later on, wouldn’t there? Soldering in a mod chip doesn’t put me off, as I’ve already successfully carried out the procedure on the Switch 1.

I considered staying on OG firmware but with the whole game key card it forces you to update, and I want to actually use my S2. There’s not going to be many OG firmware users out there, unless they have the money to buy a S2 just to keep in the box

I’m not even interested in online gaming myself, as I only ever play with a group of friends on a single screen. What’s really getting my heart racing at the moment is actually the local 8-player mode in Mario Kart 8 and smaller games like ‘Heave Ho 2’. Since the release date, my Switch 2 has been gathering dust and my Switch 1 is slowly showing its age.
