Drag x Drive, Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 exclusive 3v3 wheelchair basketball game, is getting a free demo ahead of its launch similar to playable previews Nintendo's done in the past for games like Splatoon and Arms.

Even the event's title, Drag x Drive: Global Jam dem, mirrors the Splatoon and Splatoon 2 Global Testfire demo, as well as Arms' Global Testpunch demo. Likewise, Switch 2 owners, with active Switch Online subscriptions, mind, will get to play Drag x Drive ahead of its release during pre-set sessions over an upcoming weekend.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
