Nintendo Switch Online subscription pricing is finally out, allowing you to rank up your online membership for the popular console. With Nintendo Switch Online, Nintendo joins other consoles and its Xbox Live Gold and PlayStation Plus services by billing for online games and adding some tempting extras to sweeten the deal. As we appreciate Cyber Monday deals, it's also tied to being able to find cheap subscriptions.
Nintendo Switch Online Subscription Prices
In terms of benefits, Nintendo Switch Online prices are much cheaper than those offered on Xbox and PlayStation, coming in at just $19.99 / £17.99 / AU$29.95 for a 12-month subscription. We are still in the early stages. So there aren't many discounts in the area, and since it's already so cheap, we weren't expecting any great deals, but we'll do our best to show you the best Nintendo Switch Online deals through our price comparison technology.

If you have an online subscription with one of the other consoles, you're considering a similar setup with a Nintendo Switch online subscription. First, you need it to play online multiplayer games. So, Splatoon 2 shootouts, Mario Kart 8: Deluxe Races, Diablo III raids, etc. will now require an online sub. However, if a game is classified as a free game on the Nintendo Store, you don't need a submarine to play online, yes, that includes Fortnite! Nintendo Switch Online also includes cloud backup to allow you to back up files from online backups. This is fine if your backup file on the console is corrupted, if you accidentally delete it, or if you buy a new console in a few years if Nintendo releases a Nintendo Switch Slim or similar. The service also gives you access to the new mobile app that displays game statistics, allows you to access voice chat features, and more details, which will be tailored to specific games in the future. You can also enjoy some free games when your subscription is active. For now these are retro NES titles, with 20 titles available right now with more titles to be added in the coming months.Free games with online subscription to Nintendo Switch
