Nintendo announced a Nintendo Switch Sports free update is launching in summer 2024 with basketball as a playable sport. Players will be able to enjoy basketball with a variety of control options and playable modes.
Here’s an overview of the free Nintendo Switch Sports update, via Nintendo:
Basketball is coming to Spocco Square in the Nintendo Switch Sports game as a free update! Use motion controls to sink as many baskets as you can within the time limit in the solo Three-Point Challenge. If you’re looking for friendly competition, then up to four players can compete locally in Five-Streak Battle or Three-Point Contest, and you can dribble, pass and score in two-on-two matches locally or online. This free update for Nintendo Switch Sports dunks its way onto Nintendo Switch this summer.
