If you own a Nintendo Switch 2, you will be able to play this game exclusively. But be careful, because you will have to meet a very important criterion to access it.

If you are the proud owner of a Nintendo Switch 2, you will be able to play an exclusive game before anyone else. But, although this may seem appealing, there is one very specific condition that must be met.

Although the Nintendo Switch 2 has been out for just over a month, it is clear that there are not many exclusive titles available for this console. This is also true of the games available, which are not flooding the market. However, the Japanese company is working daily to offer new titles, such as Donkey Kong Bananza, which will be released on July 17 on the Nintendo Switch 2.

But that's not all, because August will also have its own exclusive title on this platform, which you will be able to play in advance. The game in question is Drag x Drive, which was unveiled during the presentation of this new console. And if the name doesn't ring a bell, it's a 3v3 wheelchair basketball game in which you can make use of a Switch 2 feature by playing with the Joy-Con 2 in mouse mode. 

This mode can be activated if you place your Joy-Con 2 controllers on a flat surface and have compatible games. Then, thanks to the gyroscope built into these accessories, you can slide them around like a mouse and select what you want on the screen. In the case of the game Drag x Drive, you can slide both Joy-Con controllers to control the wheels of your wheelchair. 

However, there is one condition to consider if you want to be among the first to try this game. The publisher has just announced a weekend during which the Drag x Drive demo will be open to anyone with an Online service subscription. This will be the weekend of August 9-10. 

Please note that there are certain times when you can play. On August 9, the demo will be available in the morning from 3 a.m. to 7 a.m. PT and in the afternoon from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. PT. Finally, on Sunday, August 10, you can play from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. PT.
