Can you play Rocket League without Nintendo online?
From the details of the game overview we already gave, with a focus on the game being released for diverse consoles and PC, it won’t be a great idea business-wise for Nintendo to make the game available only for Nintendo online subscribed players. Such a move will only push fans to play the game on other platforms where it is free-to-play. As you must have rightly guessed by now, the game is free-to-play on the Nintendo Switch console and doesn’t require Nintendo Online to access multiplayer modes. This puts Rocket League on the same row with other cool but free-to-play games like Fortnite and Warframe on the Nintendo Switch.
