This update brings the total number of sports in Nintendo Switch Sports to eight, with Golf joining the roster way back in 2022.
While the wait has been long, the free addition of basketball is sure to add even more fun and variety to the game.
Already own Switch Sports? Great, as the update is completely free!
But if you don’t have the game yet, you can get a physical copy with a free branded bottle for £31.99 from the Nintendo eShop. Alternatively, get yourself a digital download for £30.99 on Amazon.
So, what are you waiting for? Get ready to shoot some hoops and have a blast with Nintendo Switch Sports basketball!
