+
+Good day, yuzu fans! 
+Today we bring you another exciting Switch feature which will create opportunities, for new in-game content across various games!
+Without further ado, let's get started! 
+<!--more-->
+
+### What?
+
+Yes, you heard that correctly.
+New in-game content across various games, with events held occasionally.
+
+### How?
+
+The Nintendo Switch has a network service called `BCAT`, using which games can add new content dynamically, i.e. new content without updating the game itself.
+Nintendo can push new content to various games via this service, whenever it wants.
+Some examples of this type of content would be - Super Mario Odyssey hints, Super Mario Odyssey costumes, and Splatoon 2 items.
+
+{{< message Note >}}
+**Users should possess the following versions of the games at minimum.** <br>
+SMO - `1.2.0` || BOTW - `1.1.0` || Splatoon 2 - `3.2.0`

+{{< message "Surprise!" >}}
+*The Legend of Zelda - Breath of The Wild, now boots with updates and DLC enabled.*

+
+### Then?
+
+Thanks to the efforts of our developer [DarkLordZach](https://github.com/DarkLordZach), we now have an open source replacement of the service in yuzu.
+By emulating the `BCAT` service at a high-level, yuzu is able to intercept the game's calls to Nintendo's servers and reroute them to yuzu's servers.
+This means that games running on yuzu, will now check for new content on yuzu's servers instead of Nintendo's.
+
+This allows us to add new in-game content for games that use this service. 
+For the inaugural run, our team members have added some cool content across different games which you can check out [here](https://yuzu-emu.org/help/feature/boxcat/).
+We will have new events occasionally, so users will have even more fun while playing games on yuzu.

+### When?
+
+We will be testing this feature in our Patreon preview builds first and it will be available to Canary users in the near future.
+
+We would like to take this opportunity to ask that our users show their support by subscribing to our [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/yuzuteam).

+By subscribing to our Patreon, you will be creating more incentive for developers to spend even more time working on yuzu.
+For example - Using Patreon funds, several internal bounties have been setup, which have lead to various new features or fixes you might have seen on our [GitHub](https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu) or our [Discord](https://discord.gg/u77vRWY).
