Free trial of seven days for Nintendo Switch Online service available!
Are you ready to dive into the world of online gaming on your Nintendo Switch? Here's some exciting news for you: Nintendo is offering a free 7-day trial for a Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership. But before you start your adventure, let's take a look at what this trial entails and what you can expect.
Eligibility
The free 7-day trial is available to Nintendo Accounts that do not currently have an active Individual or Family Membership. Some restrictions apply by country.
How to Start the Trial
To begin your free trial, follow these simple steps:
- On your Nintendo Switch, open the Nintendo eShop.
- Navigate to the Nintendo Switch Online section.
- Select the option for the free 7-day trial of the Individual Membership.
- Confirm the subscription using your Nintendo Account.
Alternatively, you can use promotional links to directly access the trial offer.
What You Get
During the trial, you'll have access to the following:
- Online multiplayer features, such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online races.
- A library of classic Nintendo games from NES, Super NES, and Game Boy systems available inside the Switch Online app.
- The ability to save game data to the cloud, voice chat features, and participate in some limited online-exclusive game modes.
Post-Trial
After the 7-day trial period, your subscription will automatically renew to a paid 1-month membership at the then-current price unless canceled through your Nintendo Account settings.
Limitations
Although the free trial offers a wealth of content, there are some limitations to consider:
- The free trial cannot be used to activate the Expansion Pack tier, which includes additional retro games like N64, Sega Genesis, and DLC for specific Nintendo games.
- Classic games can be played offline, but require an active membership verification at intervals (about every 7 days online connection).
