A new and free-to-play Yu-Gi-Oh! game has been stealth released. More specifically, as of tonight, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X users can download Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel for free. As you may know, the highly-anticipated Yu-Gi-Oh game was announced last year but had no release date, which is why today's release is considered a stealth release.

According to Konami, Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel is the definitive version of the card game, which is why so many fans of the series are excited for it after a saturation of variations and spin-offs from the core experience. The way Konami has described the game, it's going to be the premier Yu-Gi-Oh! video game going forward, which means players should expect tons of support, but for now, this is just an assumption.

"Finally, the Yu-Gi-Oh! digital card game you've been waiting for," reads an official blurb about the game. "The definitive edition of the competitive card game that has been evolving for over 20 years! Duel at the highest level against Duelists from all over the world."
