Find fun ways to play together with the GameChat and GameShare features!

You can stay connected with friends and family over the holidays with GameChat* and GameShare**, two great features exclusive to the Nintendo Switch™ 2 system. Here is a look at some of the games that can be enhanced with GameShare and GameChat. Keep reading to learn more!

You can use GameShare to share supported games with friends and family—even if they don’t have the game. A Nintendo Switch 2 system can share compatible games with a nearby Nintendo Switch 2 or, sometimes, even a Nintendo Switch, letting everyone be able to play. (Compatibility varies by game.) Here are a few games that support the GameShare feature:

Take on a series of brain-bending activities that test your mental mettle in Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain. With GameShare support both locally and online, you can go brain-to-brain with friends and family in 4-player matches to see who gets the highest score. Everyone can play together at varying difficulties, so a kid can hold their own against an adult in this battle of the brains!

It’s the year 30XX and the natural world has been overrun by an evil robot force in Lynked: Banner of the Spark, a vibrant rogue-life RPG. Use GameShare online over GameChat to take on a variety of hack-and-slash missions with up to three other players. Build a thriving town with the help of robots and up to 5 friends. It’ll take a village to save the world!

Survival Kids is a fast-paced, co-op survival game for absolutely everyone! Stranded on a series of unique islands, you can use GameShare in person to work together with another player in local co-op to explore, chop, craft, fish, cook, and solve your way to safety—all whilst surviving everything the island throws at you. The best Survival Kids experience is play together!

You can easily chat with friends, play together online, share your screen, and more via GameChat for Nintendo Switch 2 systems. Here are a few games that support the GameChat feature:

Team up with—or take on—friends and other players from near and far online. Use GameChat to coordinate moves with your teammates as you drive, shoot, turn, and pivot in fast-paced 3-on-3 matches. Head to the Public Park to get matched up with randomized players or wheel on over to Friend Park to just play against your buddies (and use chat with GameChat to show off your competitive spirit).

Immerse yourself in explosive gameplay in EA Sports Madden NFL 26—and bring your friends along for the ride. Hop on GameChat with friends to talk strategy, get advice, and discuss the best players and coaching strategies. Oh, and let’s not forget about throwing down a little smack talk!

Create, play, and battle with your buddies in Fortnite! You can use GameChat to stream your favorite Fortnite gameplay with up to three friends. Or coordinate your moves during a Battle Royale or other creator-made games!
