Following on from that exciting news, much of the community are now being given the chance to pick up even more bonuses in-game. So, let’s take a look at what’s included, and for those who don’t know already, how to redeem them as well.

Switch Online subscription prices (US & UK)

Switch Online is required for you to be able to play many of the console’s titles in multiplayer, although Fortnite Battle Royale is an exception. The likes of Smash, Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, and others do need a membership to engage in online play, though. Aside from that, occasional rewards are also included.
