It's official, we're getting another Nintendo Switch Online Playtest Program. Announced by Nintendo, this playtest period will be a lengthy one, kicking off on Monday, July 28. Nintendo notes that they are accepting "40,000 participants" for this test, which is 30,000 more than the last round.
Interestingly, Nintendo is being coy about what the playtest actually is, but we have full confirmation based on the publisher's playtest site: "This is a test of the same service for which we performed a test in October of 2024." As a refresher, that's the Roblox-esque game that Nintendo tested back in October, while we wait for the title, theme, and many more elements to take shape. If you want to try it out for yourself, you need to act fast.
The full Nintendo Switch Online playtest will run from Monday, July 28, at 6:00 PM PT through Sunday, August 10, 2025, at 5:59 PM PT. It will involve the "secret" building game, which has been described as "MMO and Roblox"-like by leaks. Nintendo is asking participants not to talk about the contents of the playtest, which is why details are so vague.
Nintendo has been steadily rolling out Switch 2 updates...
