Nintendo Switch drops 4 new free downloads you can grab now

It’s always nice to play video games for free, especially when they’re critically acclaimed such as these Nintendo Switch offerings that you can download and play today.

Right now and ending on 25 August 2024, you can download and play Tetris Effect: Connected, PowerWash Simulator, Enter the Gungeon and Cassette Beasts for free. There is one catch, however, and that’s being an active subscriber to Nintendo Switch Online.

Honestly, this selection of four games is fantastic and each offers plenty of fun in their own right. For me, the pick of the bunch is Tetris Effect: Connected, a modern take on the 80s classic puzzler made famous on the Nintendo Game Boy, but the other three games are not to be sniffed at.

Enter the Gungeon is a high-octane dungeon crawler and Cassette Beasts is one for classic Pokémon fans. That being said, if you’ve never played it, PowerWash Simulator might surprise you with how quickly its gameplay will get you hooked.

PowerWash Simulator is pretty much the game you’d expect it to be and while it might not initially seem all that appealing, before you’ve realised, an hour or more has quickly passed as you become obsessed with making sure to clean every last spot of a house, driveway or car.

What’s more, each of the four games offered in Nintendo’s ‘Mega Game Trials’ promotion will be the full experience and if you decide to make a purchase, your save data will be carried over. Better still, each game is currently discounted between 30% and 70% with Enter the Gungeon being the cheapest at just £3.29.

Even if you decide not to purchase any of the four games included in the ‘Mega Game Trials’ promotion, it’s still worth checking out some great titles for free.
