Voice chat with others in these games with the Nintendo Switch Online app - TechnW3

While Nintendo has the Nintendo Switch Online service, they don't support voice chat directly in the games themselves. Instead, you have to download the Nintendo Switch Online mobile app on your iPhone or Android device if you want to voice chat with other players through NSO. The app also has some game-specific services like exclusive items and other in-game bonuses. Here are all of the games that will work with the Nintendo Switch Online mobile app right now.

Get your game on!

These are currently all of the games that will work with the Nintendo Switch Online mobile app for features like voice chat. Honestly, the mobile app isn't the best, and we wish voice chat could be implemented natively on the Switch. But for now, it will have to do.

In our opinion, some of the best Nintendo Switch games use the multiplayer feature. If you're looking for some recommendations for must-have games on this list, we highly recommend Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The latest installment has the biggest roster ever, and it continues to grow with additions like Joker from Persona 5, Banjo & Kazooie, The Hero from the Dragon Quest series, and more.

We also like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, because who doesn't love Mario Kart? And since this version also comes with all tracks, characters, and kart parts that were previously only DLC, it's honestly a great value. Splatoon 2 is also a must because it's one of Nintendo's newest IPs, and it's just downright fun to play. It's a great shooter for people who aren't fans of most first-person shooters.
