Nintendo Switch Online subscribers are being offered two new game trails.

In the US, Switch Online members can now sample the full version of Innersloth’s Among Us until July 27 at 11.59pm PT / July 28 at 2.59am ET.

The smash hit, which encourages players to collaborate or deceive each other in an online murder mystery, launched for Switch in December 2020 and features cross-platform play with the mobile and PC versions.

Players can also currently purchase the full version of the game for 30% off until August 1 at 11.59pm PT / August 2 at 2.59am ET.

In Europe, Switch Online members will be able to play Two Point Hospital: Jumbo Edition free for one week.

Players can download the game now ahead of the trial, which will run from July 28 until August 3.

Three more retro games will be introduced to the Switch Online subscription service next week.

Nintendo will be adding a trio of SNES titles to the library on July 28 – Claymates, Jelly Boy and Bombuzal.

Switch Online’s retro service is better than it’s getting credit for

Nintendo's offering is unfairly bogged down by talk about what's not on offer, rather than what is

Claymates is a platformer made by the same team responsible for the ClayFighter fighting games. Players can transform into a variety of clay animals to reach different parts of each stage.

Jelly Boy is a similarly themed platformer that was only released in Europe. The hero is made of jelly and can form different shapes to bypass certain obstacles.

Bombuzal was originally released on the SNES as Ka-Blooey but appears to have been renamed for Switch Online (it was always known as Bombuzal on other platforms). It’s a puzzle game where players have to detonate all the bombs on an island without dying.
