Logitech has officially confirmed which of its webcams are compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo offers its own dedicated webcam for the Switch 2, the console also supports various third-party cameras. Although Nintendo shared the technical specifications required for webcam functionality, it did not provide a comprehensive list of compatible models from other manufacturers like Logitech.

The introduction of GameChat on the Nintendo Switch 2 has prompted early adopters to seek compatible cameras. With the console priced at $450, many gamers are looking to avoid the additional $55 expense for Nintendo's official camera by using standard webcams. Resourceful players have even discovered methods to utilize smartphone cameras with the Switch 2, though this approach requires extra cables. Logitech has now become the first major webcam manufacturer to release official compatibility details for the Switch 2.

According to reports from The Verge, Logitech has confirmed that nearly all its webcam models work with the Nintendo Switch 2, with only one exception - the Logitech Brio 4K. This broad compatibility means most existing Logitech webcams can be used with the console, significantly reducing the cost for players who want to use camera features. Many gamers might already own compatible Logitech webcams, making this a potentially free solution for Switch 2 camera functionality.

Latest Game Information

While Logitech hasn't announced plans to update the Brio 4K for Switch 2 compatibility, it's worth noting that webcam manufacturers can address compatibility issues through firmware updates. Given the relative simplicity of this solution, other manufacturers will likely follow Logitech's lead in confirming compatibility. Switch 2 owners may want to experiment with webcams from various brands, as this could provide a more affordable alternative to Nintendo's official camera, even if it lacks the unique design of the Piranha Plant camera.

Early adopters eager to explore the Switch 2's camera features currently have limited game options. While Super Mario Party Jamboree includes exclusive mini-games utilizing the camera, most titles like Mario Kart World only support basic GameChat functionality. With more camera options now available beyond Nintendo's official peripherals, it will be interesting to see whether players opt for the first-party solution or choose more economical alternatives.
