Nintendo Switch Sports is basically a party game played with friends. And 99% of the time, you need a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to play online multiplayer for any game on the Switch. But you can still play Nintendo Switch Sports
This might sound like splitting hairs, but it works. You will only compete against very easy CPU competition in “online” single player modes. But you will earn points that can be used on unlockables.
We saw it for ourselves earlier today. If you already have Nintendo Switch Online, simply create a guest account and use it to log in. When you start a single player match, you will get a screen informing you that you will be playing in test mode.

As we found out after a quick – and easy – game of badminton, we still have points that can be used for rewards. So if you read that you don’t need a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to play Nintendo Switch Sports, that’s technically correct. And that, as we all know, is the best kind of correctness.
