<\/figure>\n\nThis way requires a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. This service is required in order to use the online features of several games (including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe). It is a subscription that must be renewed when it ends, that is, that it will be necessary to pay in order to resubscribe.<\/p>\n\n

The price of the basic subscription can be found on the left. The price of the subscription + the Additional Set can be found on the right.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nIn order to get the downloadable content of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, you have to buy what is called the “Additional Set”.

It is only possible to purchase 1-year subscriptions when you wish to purchase the Additional Set. If you already have a basic Nintendo Switch Online subscription, Nintendo gives you a price based on where you’re at in your basic subscription. So the price to pay will depend on each one.<\/p>\n\n

These subscriptions should be seen as two packages available for the same service.<\/p>\n\n
- Nintendo Switch Online is the basic package.<\/li>
- The Nintendo Switch Online + Add-on Set is the more expensive package that gives bonuses.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n
<\/p>\n\n
My Nintendo Switch Online + Additional Set subscription ended recently. Do I still have access to the Additional Circuit Pass?<\/h3>\n\n
If your Nintendo Switch Online + Add-on membership ends, you will no longer have access to the additional content offered by the Add-on Set. In this sense, you will no longer have access to the downloadable content of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.<\/p>\n\n
<\/p>\n\n
Do I need internet in order to play the additional circuit pass?<\/h3>\n\n
If you have used method #1, that is, purchased the downloadable content directly from the Nintendo eShop<\/strong>, you can play the downloadable content whenever you want, internet or not.<\/p>\n\nIf you used method #2, that is, obtained the downloadable content through the Additional Set<\/strong>, you must be connected to the internet in order to access that content. The rest of the game, however, remains accessible, as usual.<\/p>\n\n<\/p>\n\n
My Nintendo Switch has several sessions. Can I play downloadable content on all sessions?<\/h3>\n\n
If you used method #1, that is, purchased the downloadable content directly from the Nintendo eShop<\/strong>, you can play the downloadable content on all sessions that are on the Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n\nIf you used method #2, that is, obtained the downloadable content through the Additional Set<\/strong>, you must be logged into the session that owns the subscription in order to access the downloadable content.<\/p>\n\n<\/p>\n\n
In brief…<\/h2>\n\n
Method #1 makes the downloadable content yours, for eternity.<\/p>\n\n
Method #2 ensures that downloadable content is accessible<\/em> as long as you have an active subscription of Nintendo Switch Online + Additional Set.<\/p>\n\nDo I buy the circuit pass with method #1 or with method #2?<\/h2>\n\n
Use method #1 if you want to own the circuit pass forever. Relevant if you intend to play on the new circuits for several more years.<\/p>\n\n
Use method #2 if you like all the elements contained in the additional set and you really think you have a subscription to play Nintendo Switch online.<\/p>\n\n
