Nowadays, each of the three major console manufacturers has its own bonus service that offers players various benefits.

What lies behind the membership and which options will be available to you in the future, we will tell you here.
Play together with friends
Nintendo Switch Online is primarily indispensable for all those who want to enjoy the multiplayer part of their Switch games. Whether it's exciting shooter battles in titles like Overwatch, the competitive sports competition in Fifa and NBA 2K, or shared excursions in simulations like Animal Crossing, with a Switch Online subscription you can always and anywhere play online with your friends.
Free titles like Fortnite can be used without the subscription anyway. Another advantage of Switch Online is the practical cloud storage. Here your game progress is stored online and can therefore be easily moved back and forth between several consoles, for example, if you own several Switch models or want to show your progress to a friend.
Look forward to numerous classics from the early days of Nintendo consoles
As a special highlight, a Switch Online subscription gives you access to numerous classics from the NES and SNES era that you can now enjoy on your Switch. Various installments of the Donkey Kong or Super Mario series are just as much a part of the selection of games as different Star Fox or Zelda parts. In addition, Switch Online regularly grants you exclusive access to game demos or time-limited free trials.
Two models - suitable for every type of player
In addition to the regular Switch Online subscription, which offers the above-mentioned benefits and can be booked with Nintendo for around 20 euros per year, the publisher is offering a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Package from October 26th. This includes the classic subscription
