    For a few weeks/months it cost £25 on Switch, I guess this is a heads up it’s now free.

    No one knows. Nintendo did say that devs can opt out and have their games have free online and since Fortnite doesn't need a PS Plus sub I'd say maybe.

    According to this article, no

    "Take note that while Paladins online multiplayer will initially be freely accessible on the Nintendo Switch at first, players will have to subscribe to the premium Nintendo Online Service when it launches in September."

    If only it was a cheap overwatch rip off.

    Its actually just as good if not better and free to play.

    Overwatch was only made to recover developers losses on their failed game titan.

    Though both games have there fun factors.

    Okay nice how would i do thi


    Damn. I assumed incorrectly.

    I searched and found this online:
    Greetings,

    We are very sorry but it is not possible to transfer or copy any account content or player progress from one platform to another.

    Linking accounts will only unlock the console exclusive skins associated with each console.

    If you wish to play Paladins on Pc you will have to download the PC client and create a PC player account.

    Please note that Nintendo and PC profiles aren't linked.

    We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused.

    If you need any further assistance from customer support please let us know.

    Thank you for contacting Hi-Rez Studios Customer Support


    And after further searching, it's an impossible dream:

    hirezstudios.force.com/sup…FAQ
    It is no longer possible to transfer, merge or otherwise copy an account from PC to PS4 or Xbox. This function was officially ended on July 15th of 2017. There are currently no plans to re-enable this function. There are no exceptions able to be made to extend this process for any player.

    I assume the above also applies to the Switch version. (edited)

    Aha thanks anyway


    Also just found this: From the AMA session on Reddit:
    reddit.com/r/N…on/
    (26 July 2018)
    As of right now, all I can say is that we're still working with Nintendo on this. There's a non-trivial technical arc of work to allow linking Nintendo Accounts to Hi-Rez Accounts, which is the first step in allowing some form of account copy/merge/move process between platforms.

    Once we cross that milestone, we will continue to work with our counterparts at Nintendo to find a solution that will hopefully allow players some form of access to previously purchased on some other platforms. I apologize for how vague this statement is, but this is an issue that involves an agreement between several different parties, and those are always difficult to come to.

    Generally speaking, as a company, we support the idea of users being able to access their purchased content wherever they may be. The realities of supporting that technically and getting sign-off from providers on an exact implementation are quite difficult, however.

    Someone may correct me here, but I believe XBL Gold is required (at least with Fortnite), so it's a bit of a mixed bag on it. (edited)

    Yeah it’s definitely not better lol, that’s definitely not the reason Overwatch was made if it’s was please link proof.

    Wikipedia?

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_(Blizzard_Entertainment_project)

    And the funny thing is i prefered the none competitive modes on ow but prefered the competitive modes on paladins. maybe its just each to there own but its annoying when people refer to it as a copy when some characters were made for paladins before their overwatch seemalikeys .

    To me there different games. (edited)
