Nintendo deployed AI-powered face tracking and background removal in the Nintendo Switch 2's GameChat feature, using the console's Nvidia Tensor Cores to process live video from an optional USB-C camera.
Details
Confirmed in an official Nvidia blog post published April 3, 2025, the Switch 2's Tensor Cores enable AI-driven face tracking and background removal for video chat. GameChat, a built-in social feature on the Switch 2 that supports voice and video calls for up to 12 players simultaneously, uses this capability. The AI receives live camera input and produces a processed video stream with the user's face tracked and background replaced or blurred. This feature is available to all Switch 2 owners using a compatible USB-C camera accessory (sold separately).
