When online is activated it will be a free update for all platforms. Unfortunately, there's no cross-platform play - so you'll have to stick with Power Rangers on your platform of choice. You can see the full patch notes for the latest update in the original story below this update.

Will you be checking out this new update for Rita's Rewind? How are you finding it so far? Let us know in the comments.

Original Story: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind made its debut on the Switch last week and it's gone down relatively well so far with critics and fans alike.

In saying this, not everything is available on every platform (like online play), but the developers are working on it and have now rolled out the first major update. The Switch version is expected to receive this update "soon". Here's exactly what you can expect:

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind UPDATE: December 2024
