One of the biggest problems with the Nintendo Switch was its overly complicated voice chat system. However, a new patent filed by Nintendo reveals that it might integrate voice chat into the Nintendo Switch 2 ’s operating system, so you won’t have to reach for your phone to chat with other Switch 2 users.

A recent patent filing (spotted by Wccftech) suggests that Nintendo Switch 2 may fix one of its predecessor’s major issues: Its highly restrictive voice chat. According to the patent, Switch 2 could offer proximity chat and the functionality would be accessible from the console's operating system.
