Pokémon Champions launches as a “free-to-start” game on the Switch next month, and although Nintendo hasn’t officially announced the pricing just yet, the first details have reportedly surfaced at PAX East in the US this weekend.

Once again, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have not officially shared or announced any of the pricing details at this stage, so the prices mentioned here may not reflect the final prices at launch. When a more formal update is provided, or the pricing goes live on the eShop, we’ll let you know.
In case you missed it, Pokémon Champions is getting a free update for the Switch 2, which will offer enhanced visual performance.
