Nintendo Switch Online

Nintendo has revealed that Overcooked 2 will soon be temporarily free in Japan as part of a temporary Switch Online offer. Members can play the game at no extra charge between December 7 and December 13. Additionally, progress can be transferred to the paid version.

Thus far, this offer has not been announced for the west. However, as long as you’re a Switch Online subscriber, you should be able to participate. You’ll just need to create a Japanese Nintendo Account (if you haven’t done so already), register it with your Switch system, and access the Japanese eShop.

Update: Unsurprisingly, the same offer has been confirmed for Europe, so this is a worldwide promotion. The same dates apply: October 13 to October 20.


Last night, Nintendo announced that Overwatch will be entirely free for a week in Japan, assuming you’re a Switch Online subscriber. The same offer has now been confirmed for North America as well. Between October 13 and October 20, you can access the full version of Overwatch if you’re a member of Switch online.

You’ll be able to transfer any progress made to the full version. There’s no word yet on a sale on the full game like Japan, but it’s definitely possible that a discount will go live next week.
