Nintendo is offering a free bonus month of the Nintendo Switch Online+ Expansion Pack to users who purchase, renew, or redeem a 12-month individual or family subscription before July 28, 2026.
Eligible members will receive 13 months of service for the price of 12. The promotion is open to new customers, existing Expansion Pack members renewing their plans, and existing Nintendo Switch Online customers upgrading to a higher tier.
How the offer works and what’s included in the expansion pack
The bonus month is added to any eligible 12-month membership activation completed before July 28, 2026.
This offer is available to three groups of users:
- New customers purchasing a 12-month individual or family expansion pack subscription for the first time.
- Existing Expansion Pack members renewing for the next 12-month term
- Upgrading to the current standard Nintendo Switch Online Subscriber Expansion Pack tier.
When users upgrade from a standard subscription, Nintendo applies the remaining value of the current subscription as a credit towards the upgrade. The credit amount depends on how much time is left on the current subscription.
The Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack offers everything included in the standard Nintendo Switch Online plan, plus a number of additional features. Subscribers get access to online multiplayer, cloud saves, and a library of classic games, including titles
Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance and SEGA Genesis. The package also includes downloadable content such as Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Happy Home Paradise, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass, and Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion. Along with the launch of Switch 2,
Nintendo has expanded the expansion pack. Eligible customers can now access a growing collection of GameCube games on the new console.
How to claim bonus month and what it means for users
To claim the offer, users must sign in to their Nintendo Account, purchase, renew, or upgrade a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack individual or family subscription and complete activation before July 28, 2026. Bonus month is automatically added to eligible memberships.
The offer is available on the Nintendo website as well as on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 systems.
For existing Nintendo Switch Online customers on the Standard tier, this offer provides a significant discount when upgrading to the Expansion Pack.
Family plan members receive a bonus month for all accounts in their group, increasing the overall value for many users. This promotion is for a limited time and ties into Nintendo’s marketing push for the summer.
Those considering an upgrade or renewal should consider whether the additional content offered by the expansion pack justifies the higher cost compared to the standard plan. This offer is available now and will run till July 28, 2026.
