A new dated database release is available
NX Cheats DB has published release 2026-09-21, dated September 21, 2026. The project provides a database of cheat codes for Nintendo Switch software, with packages organized by system environment and code category.
The release notes identify this as a cheat update but do not list individual games, titles, codes, or specific fixes. No more detailed change list is available for this release.
Six archive choices cover different needs
Users with Atmosphère can choose contents.zip for gameplay codes, contents_60fps-res-gfx.zip for graphics codes, or contents_complete.zip for the combined gameplay-and-graphics collection.
The legacy package group uses the titles naming scheme. titles.zip contains gameplay codes, titles_60fps-res-gfx.zip contains graphics codes, and titles_complete.zip combines both categories. The README identifies this group for older Atmosphère installations and SXOS.
The graphics package names specifically reference 60 FPS, resolution, and graphics codes. Selecting a category-focused archive avoids downloading the combined collection when only one type of code is needed.
Database context
The project README lists 151,639 cheats across 3,100 titles and 10,271 updates. That count provides context for the database associated with this release; the release notes do not state how many entries changed in the 2026-09-21 refresh.
NX Cheats DB is updated once a day, and its dated releases let users identify the database snapshot they want. The project documentation also says that individual cheats can be downloaded directly on a Nintendo Switch through All-in-One-Switch-Updater.
The collection brings together codes from several community sources and credits the original cheat-code authors. It is intended for Nintendo Switch software, while the appropriate archive depends on whether the user needs the Atmosphère or legacy package format.
What this release confirms
The 2026-09-21 release provides archive variants for gameplay-only, graphics-only, and combined cheat collections. It does not document a new compatibility list, performance change, installation procedure, or named code update.
For users maintaining an existing cheat database, the practical change is the availability of a newer dated package set. Choosing the matching archive family and category provides the collection suited to the user’s setup without treating the Atmosphère and legacy formats as interchangeable.
