Nintendo will take strict measures to ensure the system is safe through the GameChat feature of Switch 2.

Users who read GameChat feature details on the official Switch 2 website noticed that in addition to having a Nintendo account and Switch Online subscription, the feature requires an additional layer of verification.

One of the instructions states that to enable GameChat on the new Switch 2, users need to register their mobile number with their account and set up SMS verification.

Considering the historical issues of Nintendo's console chat feature, especially the recent privacy policy update mentions that "the right to interact within the monitoring service" is reserved, this preventive measure is not difficult to understand.With this new requirement, the above-mentioned privacy policy updates, and the recent terms of the account agreement that “unauthorized evasion of security measures may lead to permanent lock-off of the host”, system security appears to be a focus of Nintendo’s increasing concern.

Although these measures may seem extreme, anyone who remembers the 2013 "SwapNote incident" (controversial over child privacy issues) knows that Nintendo has taken similar measures to protect the cybersecurity of young players.

The GameChat feature has been discussed since its disclosure, and since its first exposure, the C key used to turn on the feature has been the focus of leaks and rumors.Since then, its video streaming quality and potential impact on game performance have been a point of controversy.The official GameChat camera is not very popular either – as an extra-paid accessory, it seems like a regular USB-C webcam, but it is paired with the host's low-quality video streaming feature and some gaming gimmicks.

It is worth noting that all Switch 2 users can use GameChat for free until March 31, 2026, and you will need to subscribe to a paid Nintendo Switch Online account before you can continue to use it.

In any case, it has been less than two weeks since the console's first launch on June 5, and players will soon be able to experience these features in person to see how GameChat works.
