Overview

  • Drag x Drive is a digital-only exclusive on Nintendo Switch 2, priced at $19.99/£16.99 and available now through the eShop.
  • Gameplay revolves around competitive three-minute 3v3 wheelchair basketball matches powered by dual Joy-Con 2 controllers acting as mouse inputs.
  • Online play requires a Nintendo Switch Online subscription and offers Public Parks for up to 12 players with automatic matchmaking alongside private Friend Parks across two courts.
  • Offline options are limited to solo CPU matchups without local split-screen or campaign modes, complemented by brief minigames and a trophy challenge system.
  • Reviewers commend the locked 60fps performance and HD Rumble 2 feedback but warn that control reliance on flat surfaces can cause fatigue and there are no alternative control methods.
