Yuzu is a discontinued open-source video game console emulator developed and released by Team Yuzu. It emulates the Nintendo Switch.

Development of Yuzu was first announced on January 15, 2018.[1] Unlike most open-sourced emulators, updates were first released as timed-exclusives (Named Early Access) to Patreon donors for about a week before they were released to the public.[2]

Due to a lawsuit from and the subsequent settlement with Nintendo in March 2024, Yuzu's development team, Tropic Haze, announced that they will stop further development of Yuzu and removed any hosted copies of Yuzu, which also includes Yuzu's Github page (effectively removing Yuzu's codebase). However, there is an unofficial build that provided Early Access releases of Yuzu prior to the closure that is still up.
