Nintendo has confirmed that Drag x Drive<\/a>, the mouse-controlled sports game for Switch 2, will launch on 14th August 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The news was confirmed via the Nintendo Today!<\/a> app with an accompanying trailer (which we’ll embed above as soon as it’s available online).<\/p>\n

It’s also been confirmed that the game will be an eShop exclusive, so don’t expect a physical release for this one.<\/p>\n

Drag X Drive was originally announced during the big April Direct for the Switch 2 as a 3v3 multiplayer-focused experience in which players use the mouse controls in both Joy-Con to move ‘vehicle’-bound characters and shoot hoops to score points.<\/p>\n

We went hands-on with the game<\/a> shortly after its announcement and praised the mouse controls, saying “it seems like a great fit and is pretty darn responsive”. There is, however, an undeniable concernt that the game may not provide long-term engagement thanks to its rather limited premise. <\/p>\n

Are you looking to grab Drag X Drive for the Switch 2 in August? What do you make of the game so far? Let us know with a comment.<\/p>\n
