Nintendo Switch Games With Voice Chat

If you own a Switch, you know that the voice chat system is pretty janky. Thankfully, there are a few titles that actually support voice chat natively on the Nintendo Switch, so you don’t have to use their mobile app!


Below are all the titles that support voice chat on Switch without the app:

Fortnite

Overwatch

Overwatch was released on Nintendo Switch on October 15th, 2019! So if you’ve ever really wanted to use motion controls on Overwatch (why tho?), you can. Blizzard has confirmed that Overwatch will support native voice chat on Switch.

Smite & Paladins

Communicate your escape from Jason easily on Switch! However, this game does not support cross-platform chat, just FYI.

Unfortunately, these are the only titles at the moment that support local voice chat!
