Nintendo Switch Online global memberships now exceed 9.8 million accounts

During Nintendo’s latest financial results briefing, company president Shuntaro Furukawa talked about the success of Nintendo Switch Online:

Half a year has passed since Nintendo Switch Online went live last September. Global memberships now exceed 9.8 million accounts, excluding free trial memberships. Note: This number includes family memberships.

Tetris 99 has been available for free since February as a special offer to Nintendo Switch Online members. This game pits 99 players against each other in online battle. It has been played by 2.8 million accounts and has helped boost engagement for Nintendo Switch. We plan to implement in-game events to encourage consumers to keep enjoying the game.
