Summary
Like almost any subscription service,Nintendo Switch Onlinecan be trialed for free before you commit to paying for it for the next one, three, or 12 months. However, also like most other subscriptions, you need to make your mind up as to whether you like it enough to pay for it within seven days. If you used your NSO free trial and decided it wasn’t for you,Nintendowould like another crack at trying to win you over as it has hit the reset button on its offer.
If you have used NSO’s seven-day free trial before but you’re not currently signed up for theSwitch’s only service,you may now try it for free again. Nintendo confirmed it has wiped its free trial slate clean this week, proudly proclaiming that anyone with a Switch who isn’t already signed up to NSO can try it again for an additional seven days. NSO perks include the ability to play Switch games online, voice chat through Ninteno’s smartphone app, and backing up your saves in the cloud.
The Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, and Sega Genesis libraries are not included in the base NSO subscription. You will need the Expansion Pass to play anything in those collections.
If you like NSO and want to stay signed up once your free trial ends, your free subscription will automatically roll over into a paid one, meaning you don’t have to do anything at all. If it doesn’t win you over and you want to carry on without it, you will need to cancel your sub before the seven-day trial ends or you will be charged once it does. NSO is $3.99 per month, $7.99 for three months, or $19.99 for a year.
Try NSO For Free For Seven Days
Nintendo Switch Online
Nintendo Switch Online is the Switch’s online service that includes cloud saves and the ability to play certain games online. Plus access to the Switch’s NES, SNES, and Game Boy libraries.
Despite Nintendo confirming it will tell us something about the Switch’s successorbefore the end of the current financial year, it feels like business as usual in what could be the console’s final year. New Zelda and Mario games are coming, and now Nintendo is trying to get even more of us signed up to NSO. Hopefully our NSO subs, along with everything else that calls our Switches home, will be able to come with us to the Switch 2, or the Super Nintendo Switch, or whatever the next console ends up being called.
