We bring again an interesting detail related to one of the most prominent games in the Nintendo Switch catalogue. In this case we are talking about Daemon X Machina.
In the image below, Nintendo confirms that this title will be the next to join Nintendo Switch Online’s sample game promotion. As you know, this is an offer that allows users of this service to enjoy the game in question free of charge for a limited time. Remember that just this morning, the same was confirmed for Japan.
In this case, the promotion runs from 13 to 19 September and so far it has not been confirmed whether there will be a discount for the game as in Japan. Here is the published message, followed by the FAQ about this service:
Suit up, #NintendoSwitchOnline members! You can try out #DaemonXMachina for free next week.
