Nintendo's back with another Game Trials offer for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, this time giving players the chance to check out Descenders.
Game Trials allow Switch Online members to download a game in full (not just a demo) and play it as much as they like for a limited time. In Descenders' case, subscribers can download the trial starting today and will be able to play the game up until 27th April.
From there, if you like what you see, you can then go ahead and buy the game to keep forever at a discounted price. From now until 18th May, the game is on offer at just £11.99, down from £19.99.
At the time of writing, the Descenders Game Trial has only been announced for Europe and Australia. We'll keep an eye out for any announcements for other regions.
If you're already subscribed to Switch Online, getting this trial downloaded is already a no-brainer. Still, if you want to be sure it's worth your time, make sure to read our full review. Enjoy!

One of these for a game I don't already own for a change. I remember being a little curious about the game so maybe I'll check it out if I can find the time.
Do y'all UK bois really give a damn about this game? 🤔
Be truthful now.
@JuiceMan_V It's the reason I bought a Switch.
Who needs GamePass when Ninty has this! ;p
@JuiceMan_V
Yes.
Edit: Now I have tried it, I am glad I did.
It is a cool game, not a looker but the sense of speed and momentum is great and the controls are very responsive and it has a nice chill soundtrack. Ended up playing for two hours without realising which is always the sign of a good game.
Would pick up on sale.
It's nice to have these trials. Heard good things about this one if it's the one I'm thinking of.
@JuiceMan_V There's a bike park 2 minutes down the road from me so I imagine the people that go there might be interested.
I find the base game — the randomly generated maps — boring, but ridings in the parks is great fun. I have about 40 hours of play-time, most of it in Stoker bike park.
@JuiceMan_V I do! I loved Trials Rising so excited to try another bike game on Switch.
This game is a blast. The bike parks are where it's all at.
So let me get this straight. We went from first-party once-in-a-few-months to third-party-at-best once-in-a-few-months?
Work hard on that "appeal", Furukawa-san.
I'll probably give it a try.
Will check it out - anyone played this and Lonely Mountains Downhill (a game I have and have very much enjoyed) and know if there are any similarities?
@AlexSora89 To be fair, if it was always first party titles, people would be like 'Urgh...i already own this. What's the point of games we already own?'
@martynstuff
Fair enough, but if this is a step forward... then we need free trials way more often. A week at a time is good, I guess, as long as we're talking about a game a month.
