Free-roaming is currently unavailable, but several in-game tourist tips imply that the feature could be added to Nintendo Switch Sports via future updates! Read on to learn more information on free-roaming around Spocco Square, including all the possible locations and activities that we can visit and do in the future.

Is Free Roam Possible?

Currently Unavailable

Although the loading screen tip suggest the possibilty to wander around each sports facility, it is not currently not available in the game. Free-roaming, if it's ever implimented, could grant us access to the different shops and amenities around Spocco Square — maybe even the areas surrounding the large sports complex!

Could be Added in Future Updates

There is a high possibility that this free roam feature will become available in the future as one of the updates in the game. Although there is no exact date yet, we assume that it will be soon enough, based on the Twitter post and the in-game loading screens.
