Nintendo Switch 2 may record GameChat conversations
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
Nintendo has updated its privacy policy, stating that the upcoming Switch 2 will have the ability to record users’ voice and video during communication via GameChat. The new feature applies only to the console’s new social hub and requires player consent.
According to the changes, the company plans to collect media content, including text, images, audio, and video, as well as account data, if necessary to enforce the rules. The statement highlights:
“With your consent, we may capture interactions with other players in video or audio format to ensure platform safety.”
Nintendo states that the goal is to create a comfortable environment for communication. The monitoring system will help track unwanted behavior that violates established standards of conduct.
This is not the first measure of its kind. It was previously reported that only accounts approved by the user or parents will be able to participate in GameChat. This approach should reduce the likelihood of toxic behavior and increase control over interactions within the Switch 2 ecosystem.
