[FACT] Free-To-Play games might NOT require an online subscription

[FACT] Free-To-Play games might NOT require an online subscription

It is a new month and next month will see the introduction of Nintendo Switch Online which is a paid service much like Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. And we have all been waiting for it for soooo long.

But what will it be like?

Yeah that is the one thing we have been wondering for quite some time.
However, it is vastly cheaper than either. So it has that going for it.

We still don’t know the complete details of the new online service by Nintendo, but a ResetEra member by the name ggx2ac has discovered that free-to-play games online do not seem to require a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to play with other people online.

“To use online services you must have access to a wireless internet connection. Some online services may not be available in all countries. From the full launch of the Nintendo Switch Online membership service in 2018, online play requires a paid membership.”

Lots of retail games with online play have that fine print.  However, if you look at the following free to play games:

Paladins
Fortnite
Pokémon Quest
Dawn of the Breakers
Fallout Shelter
Galak-Z: Variant S
Zaccaria Pinball
The Pinball Arcade
Kitten Squad
Pinball FX3

Well we will need to wait and see what the official word is but … that would be cool right?
