Nintendo has officially announced a public demo for its upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive game, Drag X Drive. This demo will take place during the "Global Jam" event on August 9 and 10, allowing those with an active Switch Online subscription to experience the game before its release on August 14. The Multiplayer sports title features unique mouse controls and requires players to engage in a three-on-three basketball-inspired gameplay. Despite launching soon, details about Drag X Drive remain sparse, leading to excitement and intrigue among fans.

When is the Drag X Drive demo available to play?

The Drag X Drive demo will be available for download during the Global Jam event on August 9 from 3 am to 7 am and 5 pm to 9 pm Pacific, and on August 10 from 9 am to 1 pm Pacific.

Drag X Drive is set to follow the anticipated Donkey Kong Bananza and will be a budget title priced at $19.99. The game emphasizes online multiplayer, but players have noted the lack of local multiplayer options, which raises questions about accessibility for a wider audience. The unique gameplay involves navigating neon courts while performing throwing actions to interact with the ball, aiming to create a fresh gaming experience on the Switch 2 platform.
