Yuzu Prod Keys

Yuzu prod keys are required to run Nintendo Switch games on the Yuzu emulator. Yuzu was the first major Nintendo Switch emulator for PC and established the standard for prod.keys usage that all subsequent emulators follow.

Although Yuzu development has been archived, the emulator remains widely used. Existing Yuzu installations still require valid prod keys, and the same prod.keys file works across Yuzu, Suyu, Ryujinx, and Eden without modification.

Download Yuzu Prod Keys

All prod key versions from v16.1.0 through v22.1.0 are compatible with Yuzu. Download from our prod keys download page.

How to Install Prod Keys in Yuzu

  • Windows: %APPDATA%/yuzu/keys/prod.keys
  • Linux: ~/.local/share/yuzu/keys/prod.keys
  • Android (Yuzu forks): Internal Storage/yuzu/keys/prod.keys

Yuzu’s key validation was less strict than Ryujinx, meaning some games might partially boot with incomplete keys. However, for full compatibility, always use a complete and up-to-date prod.keys file.

Prod Keys for Yuzu Forks

Several projects forked from Yuzu after its discontinuation, including Suyu, Sudachi, and Citron. These forks use the same prod.keys format. Visit our Suyu prod keys page or Eden prod keys page for emulator-specific information.
