Minecraft Dungeons will be the next Nintendo Switch online game trial, available August 18

Summer may be ending soon, but Nintendo isn’t done with its Nintendo Switch online gaming trials! We’ve already had time to play FUSER and Among Us for free, but now let’s go on an adventure in Minecraft! Well, more specifically a Minecraft spin-off. Starting Wednesday, August 18 at 10:00 a.m. PT, anyone with an active Nintendo Switch Online membership can play Minecraft Dungeons for free.

Nintendo made the announcement today on social media, confirming that this game trial will be available for members in North America and Europe.

You can maximize your playtime by pre-downloading Minecraft Dungeons on your Nintendo Switch now! Visit the Nintendo eShop today. After all, access to the entire game ends on Tuesday, August 24 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
