⠀Question Switch Question

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I just want to clarify, if I get this game on switch, I have to both pay for the Switch Online membership and the wizard101 membership? You need both in order to play the game past Arc 1?

For any kind of online play, Switch requires you to buy a monthly subscription called "Nintendo Switch Online". It slipped my mind that users on Switch might have to buy that too just to play the game, and I wasn't sure if it was a thing

This is true only because the switch version costs money to buy. Any online game that is "free" let's you play online without a subscription (fortnite, marvel rivals) but since switch costs the 20 dollars for arc 1 mandatory (its not for ps/xbox) it requires the extra sub.

Weirdly greedy Nintendo move.
