Nintendo is marking the arrival of the new Star Fox release with a fresh set of user icons on Nintendo Switch Online.
The icons accompany the game's launch window and are distributed through My Nintendo using Platinum Points, continuing Nintendo’s established practice of celebrating major releases with bespoke Switch Online decorations.
What’s available and how much it costs
Nintendo has made a range of Star Fox-themed icons available for players to claim.
Individual character icons are priced at 10 My Nintendo Platinum Points each, while background and frame designs cost 5 Platinum Points apiece.
Nintendo clarifies that once a player redeems an icon it becomes permanently associated with that Nintendo Account — the item remains usable even if the user’s Nintendo Switch Online membership later lapses.
Release cadence and availability
New icon sets will be released on a weekly schedule, going live every Wednesday (early Thursday in European regions).
Nintendo has scheduled rotation periods for these releases to run through July 22, with additional designs added during that window.
This newsroom will update the story as each new design drops.
Context and developer background
Star Fox is a long-running Nintendo property developed by Nintendo’s internal teams, most recently under the Nintendo EPD umbrella for modern entries.
Nintendo frequently highlights upcoming releases during its Nintendo Direct presentations and supports digital visibility through the Nintendo eShop and Nintendo Switch Online services.
Using My Nintendo Platinum Points to distribute cosmetic items ties into Nintendo’s broader rewards ecosystem, allowing players to spend earned points on digital swag tied to headline releases.
How to claim icons
Players can claim Star Fox icons by logging into My Nintendo with the account tied to their Nintendo Switch profile, redeeming the required Platinum Points, and then applying the icon via the Switch user settings.
The My Nintendo program and the eShop are the primary distribution channels for these items.
We’ll continue to monitor Nintendo’s rollout and will update this article as new Star Fox icon designs become available on Nintendo Switch Online.
