Super Mario Party Jamboree Update 2.4.0 Adds Online GameShare via GameChat and Custom Boards on Switch 2
Available to download since November 9, 2026, version 2.4.0 of Super Mario Party Jamboree removes one of the most frustrating restrictions from its Nintendo Switch 2 release. Players who own Super Mario Party Jamboree: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV can now share their game online with friends using GameShare via GameChat, while freely picking their boards and match rules.
GameShare via GameChat: One Copy of the Game Now Covers Online Party Nights
Ever since Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV launched in July 2025, its GameShare functionality suffered from two major limitations. It was restricted to local wireless play only and locked groups into a single preset board, Mega Wiggler's Tree Party, with no way to customize match rules.
As detailed on the official Nintendo Support page for update 2.4.0, the title screen menu has been updated directly. Selecting the "GameShare" icon on the main menu now reveals a brand-new "Friends via GameChat" option.
In practice, a single host owning Super Mario Party Jamboree: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV can start a voice or video GameChat session and invite up to three remote friends on their own Nintendo Switch 2 consoles, even if they do not own the game. This rollout fits right into Nintendo's experiments with new ways to play on Switch 2 highlighted by the company's hardware and software leads.
Board and Rule Selection: Full Version 2.4.0 Patch Notes
The second major addition in patch 2.4.0 overhauls customization during shared sessions. Nintendo has unlocked both map selection and rule settings inside GameShare on the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, putting an end to the single-board restriction that previously cut party nights short.
- GameShare via GameChat Support (Nintendo Switch 2): full online game sharing during active GameChat sessions is now enabled for Nintendo Switch 2 Edition owners.
- Title Screen Shortcut (Nintendo Switch 2): selecting "GameShare" on the title screen now lets hosts directly pick "Friends via GameChat."
- Map and Rule Options (Nintendo Switch 2): boards and match rules can now be selected as customizable options when hosting a GameShare session.
- General Stability Fixes (Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch): resolved several additional issues to improve the overall gameplay experience across both console generations.
Version 2.4.0 follows February 2026's version 2.3.0 patch (which added Thai and Polish language support) and September 2025's version 2.2.0 update, which bumped the base game's output to Full HD 1080p across handheld, tabletop, and TV modes for Switch 2 Edition players. Remaining an evergreen staple alongside the blockbusters featured in the latest Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch million-seller charts, Nintendo's party flagship finally addresses its biggest multiplayer omission.
My Take on the Spec Sheet
I honestly never understood why Nintendo handcuffed Jamboree's GameShare mode at the Switch 2 Edition launch by turning it into a local-only demo trapped on Mega Wiggler's board. Being able to hop into a late-night GameChat call, invite three friends online off a single cartridge, and actually pick the board we want to play completely transforms spontaneous party nights without forcing the whole group to buy four copies.
