What is a XCI File Type?

The XCI files can be played on a Nintendo switch at l' SX OS help, which can be booted on a Switch console at l' Help from l' Xecuter SX Pro tool. The SX OS is a personal firmware that allows you to read backup files for Nintendo Switch Homebrew and XCI. Since XCI files require master keys to decrypt, they should only be used if you have the game.

XCI files can also be read with the help of a switching emulator, such as Yuzu or Ryujinx, but they must be decrypted into .NRO files. You can decrypt XCI files using hactool, a tool developed by SciresM to decrypt, extract and view information on various file formats.
