The Elder Scrolls: Blades on Nintendo Switch

The Elder Scrolls: Blades, from Bethesda, is available now on Nintendo Switch and is completely free-to-play, just like on mobile devices.

The game was supposed to release on Nintendo Switch late last year, but after a delay, everything went quiet.

Now, you can grab those Joy-Cons, and proceed to download the game on the Nintendo eShop after the game's surprise release on the console, with no hype-building from Bethesda.

The Elder Scrolls: Blades features full cross-play and cross-progression between Switch, iOS, and Android.

This means you can pick up right where you left off if you've played the game on a mobile device already.

The Elder Scrolls: Blades features:

• Immerse yourself in Tamriel and embark on quests for loot and treasure.
• Create and customize your city, restoring it to greatness.
• Conquer your rivals in epic one-on-one Arena battles or master the never-ending Abyss.
• Create your character and discover unique weapons, armour, and abilities.
• Enjoy The Elder Scrolls: Blades with a fully-optimized button layout for Nintendo Switch.

For those who haven't played the game on mobile yet, and don't own a Nintendo Switch, you can grab the full version for free on Android and iOS now.
