Friend codes continue to exist on Nintendo Switch 2, but adding people will be slightly easier than it was on Switch 1, Nintendo confirmed to Polygon in a recent interview.The heart of the friends list system on Switch 2 remains the same as it was on Switch 1. Thats why you can transfer it to the new console without much fuss. But the unique string of numbers that you have to punch in for every person you add is now optional.You can scan a QR code with the Nintendo Switch phone app instead, vice president of player and product experience Bill Trinen told Polygon. You can add notes for every friend too, which can help you remember who they are if they change their username.Trinen said these improvements were important to make because of things like GameChat, Nintendos Discord-like voice and video chat app. GameChat only works with your friends and even has a dedicated C button on the right Joy-Con. Trinen says the way it replicates that face-to-face experience you get in the same room is crucial for what we want out of a chat system.In other words, Switch 2 wont revolutionize how you add friends on Nintendos online service. You wont be able to search for someones username and tap a button. You will need to find some other way outside of the console to share your friend or QR code with someone. Maybe when the third iteration of Switch comes out, Nintendo will join every other social platform in making this process less of a pain. But it wont be doing that with Switch 2, which is set to launch in June.
