We’re not joking about this, but just days after Nintendo ended its GameChat “Welcome Offer” promo<\/a>, it’s now running a new “Missions & Rewards” event, encouraging Switch 2 users to make use of the system’s voice chat and video features.<\/p>\n

This “limited time” offer allows you to unlock GameChat themed user icons when you open GameChat and complete the setup process. To get started, you need to press the C Button on your right Joy-Con 2 controller.<\/p>\n

Of course, you’ll now need to pay to access this feature. Here’s the official description, along with a look:<\/p>\n

\n

“You can start GameChat by tapping the icon on the HOME Menu on your Nintendo Switch 2 system or by pressing the C Button on your Joy-Con\u2122 2 (R) controller. If you haven\u2019t completed the initial setup for GameChat yet, you\u2019ll need to do so before you can get your reward.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When you’ve fulfilled the requirements, you’ll then be able to purchase these icons for 10 Platinum Points<\/strong> each. These icons will be available until 22nd April 2026<\/strong>. During this period, Switch Online members who follow these steps will also earn 100 My Nintendo Points<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In case you did miss it, Nintendo was previously running a promotion for Switch 2 owners, where they could test out all the GameChat features for free. Now that this promotion has ended, you’ll need to have an active Switch Online membership to access these features.<\/p>\n

Have you tried out GameChat on the Switch 2 yet? Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n
