Can I Invite Friends to Join My Game on Nintendo Switch 2?

Nintendo Switch 2

With software that supports GameShare, you can invite friends to join your game even when they don't own the game themselves. You can also invite your friends to a GameChat room to play and chat together.

Games that support local or online multiplayer features often have a way to invite friends or join a friend's game from within the game itself. Check the game’s menu or settings for assistance with setting up a multiplayer game. For games published by Nintendo, you can also search our support site for how to start a multiplayer game with a particular title. It is not possible to invite specific people on your Friend List to join a multiplayer game directly from the User Page menu, but you can invite specific people on your Friend List to a GameChat room using the C Menu.

When someone on your Friend List has invited you to join their game, you can view and accept their invite by selecting your User profile in the top-left of the HOME Menu and scrolling down to Online Play Invites. Invites for GameChat can be accepted by using the C Menu.
