Super Mario Party Jamboree now lets Switch 2 friends join online with one copy

Nintendo released version 2.4.0 on November 9. The update lets owners of Super Mario Party Jamboree: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV share supported content online with friends who don’t own it. You can set up the session from the title screen by choosing GameShare and then Friends via GameChat.

Everyone in the online session needs a Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch Online. Guests can play the shared content for the duration of the GameChat session. The update also adds board and rule options to GameShare, so the host has more control over the match.

Update before hosting

On the HOME menu, highlight the game without opening it, press + or − and choose Software Update, then Via the Internet. Nintendo says the update keeps your save data. Owners of the Switch 2 upgrade also need to install it to use the added features.

GameShare is session-based access, not a free copy of the game for each guest. Make sure your friends have set up GameChat and have an active Nintendo Switch Online membership before organizing the session. Nintendo’s GameChat free-access period ended in March 2026.
