The long-awaited return of the beloved Pikmin series from Nintendo is finally here. This classic puzzle and strategy game has always had a cult following, and now the series is seeing its first mainline entry since 2013.
There are plenty of pre-order bonuses and fun gameplay to look forward to in Pikmin on the game’s release date in July, but how much will it be to play?
If you’re wondering if Pikmin 4 is free, we’re here to sate your curiosity.
Can you play Pikmin 4 for free?
No, Pikmin 4 is a full-priced game that is not free to play. It has a price tag of $59.99 / £49.99 at launch, and you won’t be able to play the game without purchasing it.
This Nintendo Switch title is the full-fledged sequel to Pikmin 3, and like other full games released on consoles, it comes with a price tag. If you’re itching to play Pikmin but don’t have the cash to spend, in the meantime you can play Pikmin Bloom, a free-to-play mobile game where you can be rewarded for walking, similar to Pokemon GO.
The Pikmin series has been around for over 20 years now, and in that time has gained a loyal fanbase who are eager to get their hands on the newest release. You’ll face obstacles and challenges that you solve with your loyal Pikmin, small plantlike creatures that follow your orders as a new recruit of the Rescue Corps.
The full game lets you gather different types of Pikmin recruits like the Red Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin, and the new Ice Pikmin on a strange planet filled with these curious helpers as you try to save lost members of the corps like the explorer Captain Olimar.
While the game is not free to play, there are so many puzzles and strategies to enjoy in this full game, that we recommend not passing the game up. There’s a reason Nintendo has kept it around as long as they have.
