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
Of course one of the biggest games in the world has to support voice chat, right? So whether you’re figuring out where to drop, calling out enemies, or just chatting with your friends, you can do it all straight from your Nintendo Switch.
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
Both these popular titles from Hi-Rez Studios both fully support native chat, so Hi-Rez fans, go nuts!
DC Universe Online
Whether you’re a hero or a villain, you can easily chat with friends straight from your Switch! Native chat support is the definitely the hero Gotham deserves.
Friday the 13th
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!
