Nintendo's Secretive Switch Playtest Leaks Online, Defying DMCA Takedowns

Despite Nintendo's efforts to maintain secrecy, details of its new Minecraft-style game are being shared widely online.

Nintendo's Switch Online playtest, initially meant for a select group of 10,000 players, has seen its content leaked online despite strict non-disclosure requests.
The game, which resembles Minecraft, involves players using creativity and resources to develop a massive planet, featuring unique Beacon mechanics.
Nintendo has issued DMCA takedown notices to remove unauthorized streams and images, but clips continue to appear on social media and forums.
Players can develop personal zones within the game, which cannot be altered by others, promoting a collaborative yet individualized experience.
The playtest runs until November 6, with players able to level up and gain new items, enhancing their ability to build and explore the game's world.
