- The new feature GameChat allows real-time group chat.
- Share your screen across different games.
- New C Button starts chat instantly.
Nintendo just released the Switch 2, and while there’s plenty of new hardware to admire, the best addition is GameChat.
This new feature lets up to 12 people voice chat (or four people video chat) while playing, even if they are in different games.
You can also share your screen in real time so that your friends can watch what you’re doing or hang out while they play something else.
The new C Button on the right Joy-Con makes it easy to launch or join a chat without stopping your game. And if you plug in a compatible USB-C camera, you’ll even see your friends’ faces while you play.
You can also share games in the chat if they support GameShare. If you like to game with friends even when you can’t meet up, the Nintendo Switch 2 finally makes that easy.
If you’ve been waffling on whether or not to purchase one, this is a terrific ‘yeah, let’s do it’ reason to give it a go. Try one of the retailers online if you can’t get into a store; supplies will ebb and flow so just keeping trying. Enjoy.
