Summary
9 p.m. PT on July 22 marks the U.S. digital unlock for Splatoon Raiders, with Nintendo syncing the Americas to 12 a.m. ET on July 23 rather than releasing by time zone.
13.1 GB preloads are already live, midnight local-time rollouts apply outside the Americas, and physical copies can be played as soon as buyers have the cartridge.
New Zealand eShop buyers can access the game around 8 a.m. ET on July 22, but that workaround requires a separate regional account and New Zealand eShop credit.
$49.99 buys the digital edition and $59.99 the physical version, while July 23 also brings three Deep Cut amiibo and a Shiver-Frye Joy-Con 2 pair priced at $99.99.
81 on Metacritic and 80 on OpenCritic put the first Splatoon spinoff near the series' mainline entries as Nintendo uses the single-player, co-op release to showcase Switch 2.
