Roller Champions Skates Onto Switch Tomorrow
Roller Champions has already been available on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC for almost a month, and now it's finally coming to the Nintendo Switch as well. Team up with friends or strangers as you skate around an arena and knock your opponents to the ground as you try and slam dunk on them.
Roller Champions is Ubisoft's latest free-to-play title. Based on real-life roller derby, it features wild cosmetics to give you some flair while you skate around and attempt to shoot a ball through a hoop.

Race round twice or three times and your goal will score even more points - tempting when the first to five points wins. However, doing so gives the other team ample time to steal and score themselves, so you need to play hard and fast if you have any hope of succeeding.

These reset every month, which does feel a little quick given XP isn't all that high for quick matches, but the speed with which you can complete games helps to offset this, as do the daily match bonuses.
