Do you need a Nintendo Online subscription to play ' Pokémon Unite' Typically, most Nintendo Switch games with an online multiplayer component require a Nintendo Online membership to connect with others. The subscription is a reasonable price, costing $19.99 a year for one player or $34.99 a year for a family subscription (holding up to eight players). Popular games for the Nintendo Switch, like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and Mario Kart 8, require an online membership to play with friends.Article continues below advertisement Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...bro! #PokemonUNITE pic.twitter.com/lmEoNyF7gY— Pokémon UNITE (@PokemonUnite) December 25, 2021 That being said, Pokémon Unite does not require a Nintendo Online membership to play with others, as it's a MOBA. Similar games, like Fortnite and Apex Legends, also don't need an online subscription to be played, making them all entirely free-to-play titles.Article continues below advertisement These games often make a profit from microtransactions available for purchase in-game. Pokémon Unite features three different currencies in-game to purchase: Aeos Gems, Aeos Tickets, and Holowear Tickets. While these in-game currencies will, of course, benefit you in certain ways if you choose to use them, they're not structured so that you need them to win battles. Mostly, Aeos Gems, Aeos Tickets, and Holowear Tickets are used to purchase cosmetic items to customize your team's appearance, making for a much more accessible playing experience across the board.AdvertisementMore from Distractify 'Pokémon Unite' Is Getting a Ton of Hate and Fans Saw It Coming a Mile Away Fans Aren't Excited About the New 'Pokémon' MOBA Game These Are Just *Some* of the Exciting Nintendo Switch Games Teased at E3 Latest Pokémon News and UpdatesAdvertisementABOUT DistractifyAbout UsPrivacy PolicyTerms of UseDMCASitemapCONNECT with DistractifyLink to Facebook Link to TwitterLink to InstagramContact us by Email Copyright 2022 Distractify.
