Nintendo announced the free trial period for Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town on its socials this week with the Nintendo Switch eShop updated accordingly to offer the demo. To get it, all you have to do is follow the link the tweet below, sign into your Nintendo account, and assuming you’ve got an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription, you’ll be prompted to confirm your download.
The game’s 10% for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers as well which isn’t a huge discount, but the game itself only costs around $40 anyway and isn’t going for the full $60 price games typically do right now. That discount will last a bit longer than the trial itself and expires on October 4th.
