The Official Camera For Nintendo Switch Is Available To Preorder
One of the coolest new features of the Nintendo Switch 2 is GameChat, which lets you group chat with your online friends over voice and video. While that's a standard functionality of other consoles, it's exciting that Nintendo is finally offering its own version of the feature. The Switch 2 has built-in mics for voice chat, but if you want to use video chat, you might want to preorder the official Nintendo Switch 2 Camera for $55. Nintendo also says select third-party webcams will be supported, including an officially licensed Piranha Plant version of the Switch 2 Camera from Hori. Online preorders for the Switch 2 Camera are available now alongside the console, launch games, and numerous other accessories.

$55 | Releases June 5
The Nintendo Switch 2 Camera connects to your Switch 2 via a USB-C port to use in online GameChat sessions, and unlock additional camera-based content in games like Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV Switch 2 Edition.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Camera can be used in TV mode, tabletop mode, or handheld mode. Its angle can be adjusted to ensure you remain in the picture, and its wide-angle lens ensures even large groups will show up in the image.
You'll need to have a Nintendo Switch Online membership to use GameChat. However, GameChat will have a brief open access period that allows everyone to try the feature for free. As mentioned above, some third-party USB-C cameras may also be compatible with the Switch 2. Nintendo will offer a "Test USB Camera" feature in the system settings so you can check if your device is supported.
