Nintendo Switch 6.0.0 and hacks

If your console is hacked/hackable using Fusee Gelee, in theory this upgrade will not impact your possibility to hack the console, but as always, proceed carefully and wait for word from the hackers that everything’s still working as expected. In particular, some people are reporting that this update is slighlty different from the one that was leaked a few weeks ago. It might be better to understand what the differences are before you make a move.

Hacked consoles can update without burning any efuses with the use of ChoixDuJourNX. (See: How the Nintendo Switch prevents downgrading)
