We had no problem playing on Switch as my kid used his PC account. I also don't let them spend any money on nonsense so it doesn't matter anyway. Yet the Switch did warn about a paywall coming in September when we were going through the lengthy process of making a child nintendo account and attempting to link the Epic account. Is it not staying free to play on Switch like on PS4 and PC?

Xbox and PS4 are not free. XBOX LIVE and PSN

That is what the warning is about. Nintendo's paid online starts in September. At that point, all games, Fortnite, Mario Kart, Splatoon, ect will require you to pay $20 a year for Nintendo's online service. Same as Sony and Xbox. It's the cheapest of the three if that helps.

But only free online is as it always has been PC gaming.

Yes but playing Fortnite online on PS4 is free as PS+ is not required (I assume it's the same on Xbox).

The question is: Is this going to be free too on Switch or will it be locked behind their paywall? That's what we don't know yet. Time will tell.
