Capcom is giving Switch players the chance to try out all that Monster Hunter Rise has to offer for free - albeit with one caveat.
A full, uncapped free trial is currently available for Nintendo Switch players to give Monster Hunter Rise a try. Running from now until March 17, players in both North America and Europe can try before they buy - but only if they have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
Don't be too disappointed if you're a PC player, though, or you have a Switch but no Switch Online subscription; a free demo is also available for prospective PC players via Steam, too.
Still undecided? Maybe Hirun's 4 out of 5 star Monster Hunter Rise review will help you make up your mind...
"Monster Hunter Rise is a great debut for Capcom’s franchise on the Nintendo Switch, smartly providing sublime new tools to the established arsenal like the Wirebug, and acting as a welcoming point of entry for newcomers with overly welcoming tutorial segments," he wrote.
"There’s a lot to like about the Rampage missions as a headline addition for the series, however harrowing they might become to face on your own in the latter half of the game. Monster Hunter Rise has the satisfying feeling of a smaller and more compact adventure than 2018’s sprawling World, but tying story progression to the game’s online co-op mode is a little disappointing."
Here's our pick of the best Nintendo Switch games to keep you gaming on the go.
