If you’re eager to explore the Galar Region in Pokémon Sword & Shield the second they launch digitally, you’re in luck, as pre-loading has been enabled for the games. Just head on over to the Switch eShop and you can get to downloading.
Not only that but for a limited time, residents of Europe can snag a free steelbook for their non-existent game cartridge while stocks last.
#PokemonSwordShield are now available to pre-order from #NintendoSwitch #eShop! While stocks last, early purchasers can get a free SteelBook® case!
