As part of the Nintendo Direct today, Nintendo opened the floodgates in terms of news and announcements about the Switch 2. Included in the presentation was confirmation of what the Switch 2's mysterious C button actually does.

The Switch 2's C button activates a social hub called GameChat, in which up to four people can link up via voice chat and play together. GameChat also allows for screen sharing, even if everyone is playing a different game. If a Nintendo Switch 2 Camera is connected, each player can also appear in the corner of the shared screen.
