A New Switch 2 Game Is Set to Offer a Free Trial, but There's a Catch

If you want to play drag wheelchair basketball on the Switch 2, maybe you should consider playing Drag x Drive for free. You do need to be a subscriber of the Nintendo Switch Online service to participate. It originally appeared in the big April Switch 2 showcase and attracted many eyes for its fresh idea and use of mouse mode on the Joy-Con 2.

Drop 3v3 on August 14 for Switch 2 only. Drag x Drive is a wheelchair sport game that requires you to use the newly introduced mouse mode while taking down opponents on the court. Immediately, the trailer received quite a good reception. Many Nintendo fans want more sports games, and the new ways this one offers, plus their focus on accessibility, were well received. Drag X Drive will feature a screen reader, font resizer, and text-to-speech GameChat, which makes it an accessible game for all types of players. Presently, eager fans can get to try the game before its release with a single catch.

As revealed by VGC, Nintendo has announced the launch of Drag x Drive: Global Jam. This event will give a chance to test the game before its release on August 14. Notwithstanding, you will need to have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to participate. Gamers can indulge in Drag x Drive on August 9 and August 10, split up into 3 four-hour slots. Yet those who may not be able to join the fun but still want this game for themselves will be in for a treat because it is dirt cheap at just $19.99.

One of the hard-to-get points about the new sports game is that Drag x Drive won't allow you to play near another person. It will allow up to 12 players to play online, but only one user per console. This suggests that your friend cannot link their own Joy-Cons. While it is getting heaps of love online, the inability to play with anyone nearby may dent sales.

Switch 2 sales have been huge, with 3.5 million units sold in just four days. Fans are now curious about the next one, coming in with next to no major mainline from Nintendo. Some say a Nintendo Direct may occur in July 2025, but nothing is confirmed regarding this yet.
