You can already save £5 off the Pokémon Sword and Shield expansion pass

Catch it while you can.

The headline announcement from yesterday's Nintendo Pokémon Direct was the upcoming release of a Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass - and you can already save a fiver off the price.

Head over to ShopTo and you can get the Pokémon Sword or Shield Expansion Pass for £21.85. It's currently £26.99 directly from the Nintendo eShop.

What do you get in it, though? Well, the Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass will add two new areas to the game: The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra. The first will arrive before the end of June 2020, while the second is due in autumn 2020.

The former is a bright and sunny location with a training dojo. The latter is a snowy expanse that gives co-op players some more stuff to do, including Pokémon dens that hide new and classic legendary creatures.
