As Nintendo gears up to launch the new Switch 2, the gaming giant is also revamping its parental controls.
Parents will be getting more control of in-game communications, necessitated by the console’s brand new GameChat, an upcoming social feature for Switch 2 users that allows players to communicate directly using voice or video chat and share their screens as they play. For accounts under the age of 16, parents or guardians can approve and monitor a pre-selected friends list, reported the Verge, and additional features will be added to Nintendo’s existing Parental Controls app, now compatible with Switch 2.
