Nintendo Switch 2 will seemingly support both live subtitling and text-to-speech.

While not formally confirmed by Nintendo marketing, videos showing off the features popped up over the weekend. The first illustrates how a player can type messages into Game Chat and have the recipient hear the message aloud at their end of the exchange.

We’ve also seen a separate video showing Game Chat transcribing a live discussion and providing a transcription on the side of the screen.

It’s thought the system will, like its predecessor, also support USB keyboards but again, this has yet to be officially confirmed.

However, while Game Chat will be free for all users from release day until March 31, 2026, after that date players will require a Switch Online subscription, which means these accessibility features may potentially be locked behind the premium subscription. GamesIndustry.biz has reached out to Nintendo for clarification.

Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled to release on June 5. Last week, Nintendo said it was committed to making its products “as obtainable as we possibly can” amidst fluctuating market conditions due to the US tariffs.
