Complaints and concerns about Nintendo’s first paid online service, which will launch later this year for the new Switch system, softened a bit on Wednesday. That’s because the still-unnamed service now has a price—and a surprisingly cheap one, at least for the console space.

For now, the price figure is coming from Nintendo’s Japanese president, Tatsumi Kimishima, who tells the Nikkei Asian Review that Nintendo Switch owners can expect to pay an annual fee of between 2,000-3,000 yen (which equals $17.60-$26.40 USD). Even if Nintendo majorly rounds that figure up for American gamers, that cost will still likely come in at half the $60/year fee for rival services Xbox Gold and PlayStation Plus.

Like its rivals, the Nintendo Switch’s online services will be needed to access certain types of multiplayer matchmaking and in-game voice chat. The Switch will handle this differently than other systems—through a smartphone app, which will synchronize connectivity and chat with the console. This decision may be partly due to the system’s headphone jack residing in the hardware, which cannot be accessed when the system is in “TV dock” mode. Other controllers, including the Switch’s “Pro” controller and its default Joy-Con wands, do not have their own headphone jacks. (Nintendo has not announced whether the system’s Bluetooth functionality will support players’ own Bluetooth headsets.)
