Nintendo has unveiled the latest trailer for its upcoming team-based sports game, Drag x Drive, showcasing dynamic wheelchair basketball-inspired 3v3 gameplay. Scheduled to launch on August 14, 2025, the game will be available exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2, priced around $20 USD.
The seven-minute overview trailer highlights a blend of arcade action and motion-control precision. Players maneuver their characters using dual Joy-Con controllers in “mouse mode,” allowing for fluid directional movement. The gameplay emphasizes teamwork, stunts, and strategy—blurring the lines between sports and creative expression.
Ahead of release, Nintendo will host a Global Jam demo event from August 9 to 10 for Switch Online members. This limited-time event gives players worldwide a chance to try the game in scheduled multiplayer sessions:
August 9: 03:00–07:00 PT and 17:00–21:00 PT
August 10: 09:00–13:00 PT
Drag x Drive’s visual flair includes bold cel-shaded graphics and high-energy animations, contributing to its unique style. Set in futuristic street arenas, the game offers a range of customization options, from player gear to flashy wheelchair mods.
The Global Jam demo follows in the footsteps of Nintendo’s successful pre-launch showcases like Splatoon and ARMS. With a vibrant community and an easy-to-pick-up design, Drag x Drive is positioned as a fresh new entry into the competitive online sports genre.
