Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 will incorporate GameChat, a new social feature requiring users to verify their phone numbers as an added security measure. This functionality aims to enhance online voice chat and facilitate sharing gameplay streams among friends. Notably, players younger than 16 will need parental permission to access GameChat. Additionally, while current Switch users don't need a phone number for voice chat, they must use a separate mobile device with the Nintendo Switch Online app, which will be rebranded soon. The console is set to launch on June 5, priced at $450.
Nintendo's new Switch 2 GameChat feature will require users to link a phone number for voice chat, enhancing security and enabling gameplay sharing.
The need for a phone number ties into the company's commitment to safeguarding user accounts, especially for players under 16, where parental consent is required.
