Logitech has officially announced the compatibility of its webcams with the Nintendo Switch 2. While the platform comes with an official webcam priced at $55, gamers might seek alternatives amidst the console’s $450 cost. Currently, Logitech is the first major webcam brand to confirm which models function with this new system, leaving hopeful owners eager for affordable options.

Though Nintendo has shared technical requirements for webcam use, they have not provided a comprehensive list of compatible third-party devices. In light of this, some resourceful players have even discovered a workaround that allows them to utilize their smartphones as webcams with the new console, though this necessitates some additional setup.

According to reports, all Logitech webcams are compatible with the Switch 2, with the exception of the Logitech Brio 4K model. This information greatly enhances accessibility for players on a budget, as many may already possess compatible devices from previous purchases. Users looking for an economical camera solution might just find a working Logitech webcam collecting dust in their homes.

However, it remains unclear if Logitech will update the Brio 4K to ensure compatibility. Fortunately, related firmware updates might facilitate such adjustments across various brands. With the increasing number of available camera options beyond Nintendo’s exclusive devices, many users are left to decide between investing more in the official camera or digging up older webcams.
