Deal | Free for Nintendo Switch: Minimalist drifting game is 100% off on Nintendo eShop for a limited time

Soft Drift on Nintendo Switch is briefly free on the Nintendo eShop. It's a low‑stakes pickup for anyone who wants a minimalist, time‑trial drift game without spending a cent. The store page shows the price reduced to 'Free' with a countdown that notes the promotion ends on November 9, 2025 (01:29 p.m. GMT+5:30), so claiming it before the timer expires will lock the license to a Nintendo Account at no charge. The listing identifies it as a full digital download for Nintendo Switch, not a demo, and it can be added directly to a library during the window and installed later like any other purchase.​​

The game itself is a compact top‑down racer with clean visuals and tight, repeatable sprints through short stages, giving players the satisfaction of holding a drift line rather than simulation depth. Soft Drift structures its content around brisk, level‑based challenges with 21 courses to clear, with quick restarts and route refinement as timers pressure you to perfect entries and exits. The basic loop is straightforward: thread corners, manage throttle, and collect fuel cans to keep runs alive while shaving seconds off best times. This approach should suit short play sessions very well.

On the store page, the title is rated E by the ESRB and is flagged with Nintendo’s Switch 2 Compatibility Information as "Supported," which means it should run well on the original Switch (curr. $329 on Amazon) as well as on the newer hardware family. The eShop entry credits publisher Weakfish Studio and developer Frany Games. Soft Drift is a typically low‑cost paid title, so this current zero‑price window is neat for deal hunters who collect quick indie pickups during free periods.​​

To claim it, open the eShop product page while the price is set to Free, and just complete checkout as usual. You can also watch a short gameplay trailer for Soft Drift below.
