Nintendo is starting Game Trials forNintendo Switch Onlinemembers on June 05, 2025. These trials let players try out a full game for free for a limited time, and there’s also a discount on the game purchase available until August 04, 2025. Unfortunately, the game featured in the trial iscurrently a mystery, but Nintendo will reveal it on August 08, 2025.
One main feature is the discounts and sales that are exclusive to EU members. There are several discounts on several games likeJust Dance 2025 Edition,Balatro, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope,Okami HD, andSonic x Shadow Generations. This sale will last until June 06, 2025.
One really cool bonus for EU members is that Nintendo is giving up to £12 in Gold Points to those who buy or renew a 12-month subscription for Nintendo Switch Online with auto-renewal turned on. This offer is available until July 15, 2025.
It seems like this is a good way to get players back to Nintendo Switch beforethe Switch 2releases. If this goes well, maybe US members could get similar discounts for games and subscriptions.
