Friend Codes Are Still On Nintendo Switch 2, But There's An Easier Way To Add Friends

In lieu of a more traditional username system, the Nintendo Switch 2 will still use the friend codes from the previous console, but thankfully, there is an easier way to add friends this time around. In order to add friends on the Switch, players had to enter a unique (and rather long) number that was tied to Nintendo accounts. That still exists for the Nintendo Switch 2, but there will be a way to circumvent the slow and tedious friend code manual inputs.
