Prod Keys Download — Switch Prod Keys & Firmware v22.1.0

Every published prod keys release, newest first. The table lists the version, its release date and a direct download target. Pick the newest unless your emulator is an archived build that predates the key generation — the install guide explains how to tell.

After you download

1. Extract the archive if there is one. You want the file named exactly prod.keys, not a folder.
2. Copy it into your emulator’s keys folder. Ryujinx is the exception — it uses a system folder. Exact paths are listed under each table above and on the install page.
3. Restart the emulator completely. Most builds read the keys once at startup, so a running instance will keep reporting the old state.
4. If it still fails, check the message against prod keys not working before downloading anything else.

Which version should you take

• Current emulator build — take the newest release, currently {latest_version}.
• Archived build (for example an old Yuzu or Sudachi release) — use a keys release from the same period, listed in the version history.
• Android — the same file, but stored inside app storage. See prod keys on Android.

Do you also need firmware

Keys decrypt games; firmware provides the system software a game expects. Many titles need both. If your emulator decrypts the game and then complains about a system update, the problem is firmware, not keys — see switch firmware and firmware too low.

Verify before you install

A legitimate prod.keys file is a small text file with hex values on each line. Before copying it anywhere, confirm the size and contents against inside the prod.keys file, and read is downloading prod keys safe if the download came from an unfamiliar mirror.
