Drag x Drive Update 1.2.0 Adds Survival Tag and Key Gameplay Fixes

by Ali Haider

Version 1.2.0 for Drag x Drive introduces a new multiplayer activity, refinements to player statistics, and several adjustments aimed at improving overall performance and gameplay clarity. The highlight feature is Survival Tag, a new chasing mode now accessible in friend parks, local wireless parks, and LAN parks. Additional enhancements include expanded stats tracking, bot difficulty adjustments, targeted camera behavior changes, and the option for players to delete their own records.

The update also resolves a series of rare but impactful issues affecting movement, terrain interaction, and speed handling. These corrections aim to provide a more predictable gameplay environment while maintaining the agility and momentum based design of the core experience. A corresponding update has also been applied to the Drag x Drive Demo.
