The Nintendo Switch 2 is a hybrid game console that can be played in TV, Tabletop, or Handheld mode. It has a 7.9-inch 1080p LCD touch screen with HDR support and frame rates up to 120 fps. The updated dock supports up to 4K resolution and up to 120 fps with compatible games and TVs.
The Joy-Con 2 controllers attach to the console with magnetic connectors. In compatible games, each controller can also be used as a mouse. Compatible games from the existing Nintendo Switch library can still be played.
GameChat supports voice chat, screen sharing, and video chat with a compatible USB-C camera (sold separately). Once it is set up, pressing the C Button on the right Joy-Con 2 starts it. The built-in microphone filters out background noise. Until March 31, 2026, GameChat can be used without a Nintendo Switch Online membership. After that date, a membership is required.
