Nintendo Switch Online, the subscription-based service that is set to make online play a paid feature, might not be needed for free-to-play games. 60605s

A keen-eyed Minecraft, state: "From the full launch of the Nintendo Switch Online hip service in 2018, online play requires a paid hip."

But the latter group - including the likes of Pokémon Quest, and Zaccaria Pinball - don't have that sentence on their Nintendo eShop page.

Though this is far from conclusive proof, which we won't have until Nintendo states it outright or will be confirmed upon Switch Online's launch in September, it does feel like an indication of the company's stance towards free-to-play games with online multiplayer. Its position would put it alongside Xbox Live Gold subscription service for any kind of online play.

Even if this were to not turn out to be the case, Nintendo Switch Online is much more affordable than its counterparts, priced at $4 per month, $8 for 3 months, and $20 for the full year. You can also pick up a family subscription, for groups up to eight , at $35 for 12 months.
