According to Nintendo, the GameChat feature of the upcoming Switch 2 system will support text-to-speech and live subtitles as accessibility options that players can use as needed. A short video was posted that demonstrated how text-to-speech works in GameChat on the Switch 2, along with a follow-up that explained how live subtitles will look on the console.
GameChat is one of the main selling points of the Switch 2. Based on programs like Discord, GameChat will allow groups of friends to host video and audio calls while playing Switch 2 games. GameChat utilizes the built-in microphone on the Switch 2 system and the Pro Controller, and video calls will support any USB-C camera. GameChat can be accessed by pressing the C button on the right Joy-Con 2 Controller or in the middle of the Pro Controller. GameChat will be a free feature for all Switch 2 users until March 31, 2026. After that, GameChat will require an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription to use.
Fans are starting to discover Nintendo Switch 2 display setups in retail stores, with the console's launch less than three weeks away.
