Drag x Driveis a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusiveset to release this summer, joining the recent smash-hitDonkey Kong Bananza. The Switch 2 exclusive pits two teams of three in a wheelchair basketball game, with players controlling each wheel with the console’s respective Joy-cons in either the new mouse mode or with their motion controls to move around. The game received praise from Nintendo fans, drawing comparisons to the race car soccer gameRocket Leaguewhile standing out for its accessibility and unique premise. Considering the nature of the game’s motion controls, the upcoming trial periods look to be a good way for interested players to see ifDrag x Driveis more than a gimmick.

Another nice feature of the unique sports game is its file size, withDrag x Driveonly taking up 1.8 GB on Switch 2, a small fraction of the console’s increased storage in comparison to its predecessor. The game’s smaller file size and reasonable price point makeDrag x Drivea much lower risk for early Switch 2 adopters still recovering from the console’s hefty price tag. IfDrag x Driveproves to be as addictive asRocket League— and not too straining on players' arms — it has the potential to establish itself as a must-have Switch 2 exclusive.
A potential downside for some Switch 2 owners is thelack of local multiplayer forDrag x Drive. While the game supports up to 12 players online,Drag x Drivewill only allow one user to play per console, regardless of the number of Joy-Cons connected to the system. As of this writing, there’s been no word from Nintendo on whether local multiplayer will be added in a future update.
