For players who want to try the game for free, the AVICII Invector Nintendo Switch demo is still available to download on the Nintendo eShop for no cost, which includes four tracks from the list of 35 songs. However, personal scores made in the demo will not transfer over to the full retail game.

Only on Nintendo Switch can players truly experience Tim’s music in a way he envisioned the project, with players able to experience his music however, or wherever, gamers prefer to play. With up to four-player local multiplayer, fans can soar through vocal melodies, sweep each fade, and attack every beat in 35 of AVICII’s biggest hits. This is the definitive way to play AVICII’s music, with all music royalties supporting suicide awareness through the Tim Bergling Foundation.
