Summary
An awesome new deal offers Switch owners a chance to purchase two annualNintendo Switch Onlinememberships for the price of one. However,Nintendo’s latest promotion comes with a catch in that it’s geographically limited, and currently unavailable in the United States.
The Switch-exclusive subscription service has been featured in numerous promotions since first launching in September 2018. Aside from traditional discounts,Nintendo Switch Online is occasionally packaged with game and console bundles, in addition to offering savings via its game voucher program.
The subscription service has now found itself at the center of yet another promotion calledBring a Friend, which debuted in Europe on Monday, November 18. As the name suggests, what Nintendo put together here is essentially a buy-one-get-one-free deal. The offer applies to both theregular NSO membership and the Expansion Pack tier of the service, priced at €19.99 / £17.99 and €39.99 / £34.99 per year, respectively.
NSO ‘Bring a Friend’ Promotion Is for Individual Memberships Only
The Bring a Friend promotion is exclusively available for individual Nintendo Switch Online memberships. Family plans, which extend their benefits to up to eight connected Nintendo Accounts, currently cannot be purchased at a reduced price. Another thing that’s not encompassed in this promotion is the U.S., as this limited-time offer has so far only launched in Europe. Game Rant’s review of Nintendo’s regional websites suggests that around a dozen countries on the Old Continent have access to the Bring a Friend promotion as of November 18.Nintendo fansin eligible markets have until December 1 to take advantage of the deal.

The Nintendo Switch Lite was released in 2019 as a low-cost, handheld-only game system. It’s designed specifically for handheld play, offering a lightweight design as part of its portable offerings. The controllers are built into the system for handheld play, unlike the larger Switch models. The console itself retains full functionality as a standard Switch, but it does not support docked mode.
