Much like PlayStation and Xbox, Nintendo Switch has its online gaming offering. Called Nintendo Switch Online, the service allows a Switch user to go online and play multiplayer titles.
They further provide another service on top of the online subscription called Switch Online Expansion Pass, which rewards owners with a Nintendo title from legacy consoles every month.
