Nintendo has announced the second Nintendo Switch Online: Playtest Program. This is similar to the previous session on the Nintendo Switch, which took place in late 2024. Anyone can apply for the program after meeting its qualifications:
- Own a registered Nintendo Account within the following countries: Japan, United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Canada, Brazil, or Mexico.
- Own an active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership before July 17, 03:00 p.m. PDT
- Be at least 18 years old before July 1,7 03:00 p.m. PDT
Applicants can sign up individually or in groups of up to four. No one can speak about any information related to the program except for those who participated, including group members. Group applications don’t increase the chance for selection. Applying as a group only results in the full team participating or not.
Nintendo users in Japan will be chosen via raffle if too many Japanese players apply. Anyone else outside of Japan will participate on a first-come, first-served basis. Open applications are available from 03:00 p.m. PDT on July 18 to 07:59 a.m. PDT on July 21.
