Nintendo has released version 1.1.0 for Drag x Drive, available starting September 25, 2025. This update introduces local wireless play, player levels, and new customization options such as setting team colors. Players can now also track play history and view version information directly from the in-game menu.
The update further enhances the online experience with wait list support for full parks, adjustments to matchmaking, and improvements for both 2-on-2 and 3-on-3 gameplay. Alongside these additions, several bugs have been addressed, including crash issues, user record tracking, and the balancing of shot success rates.
