The Game Chat feature on the Nintendo Switch 2 will transcribe anything you say, including expletives.
Game Chat, a wonderful accessibility feature that offers text-to-speech functionality as well as live captions, is available to all users. Paired with the built-in microphone, it allows any user to communicate easily during online play.
Bluesky user David Howe showcases the feature being used naughtily. In the screenshot he posted, user moNo.lithfiji writes: “say some fuck shit”, followed by “yo, it says fuck” to their peers. Switch 2 owner Poopshtump echoes this surprise, responding: “Oh shit, it says fuck”.
CONFIRMED: you can say fuck in game chat speech-to-text
