You say games can be shared online via GameChat. Do you mean a switch online subscription or is that online game share via Switch 2 only and not for Switch 1 games?
Great question, Joshua. Thanks for being a paid subscriber of The Shortcut.
You'll be able to share from a Switch 2 to a Switch 2 or to a Switch 1 in person (locally). It looks like you'll be able to share via GameChat between Switch 2 consoles. So if a Switch 1 player is involved (for receiving, they can't share games themselves as hosts), you'll want to be in person. I'll update my hands-on to clarify this! Thanks!
The good news is that GameChat will be free until March 31, 2026.
