Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can snag a free 12-month subscription through a limited-time “Bring a Friend” promotion. Even better, this offer extends to the Expansion Pass tier, giving players access to a wealth of retro titles and DLC content at no extra cost.
This generous offer allows gamers to enjoy a full year of Nintendo Switch Online, including the Expansion Pass, without spending an extra dime. The Expansion Pass typically unlocks a larger library of retro games, featuring N64, Sega Genesis, and Game Boy Advance titles. Subscribers also gain access to valuable DLC packs like the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Booster Course Pass and Animal Crossing: New Horizons: Happy Home Paradise.
Speculation suggests that upcoming GameCube titles on Nintendo Switch Online might also require the Expansion Pass, mirroring the current setup with N64 games. This makes the free Expansion Pass offer even more enticing for those anticipating future retro additions.
A standard 12-month Nintendo Switch Online subscription usually costs $20, while the Expansion Pass bumps the price up to $50. However, this “Bring a Friend” promotion provides an opportunity to secure both tiers for the price of one.
The promotion, running until December 1st, allows anyone purchasing a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online subscription (standard or Expansion Pass) to receive a free code for an identical 12-month subscription. This applies to both new subscriptions and renewals.
While the free code can’t be used on the same account, families with multiple Nintendo Switch Online subscriptions can effectively get a free year for one member. Friends can also coordinate to share the cost, bringing the price of a 12-month individual subscription down to $10 for the standard tier and $25 for the Expansion Pass.
This offer is limited to one per customer and applies only to purchases made through the Nintendo eShop, the official Nintendo website, or the My Nintendo Store. Download codes will be emailed within 72 hours of purchase and are redeemable until January 2025.
This limited-time deal offers exceptional value for Nintendo Switch owners looking to enjoy online play, retro games, and exclusive DLC.
