Nintendo Switch Online Unveils Drag x Drive User Icons Ahead of Game Launch

Nintendo Switch Online subscribers are in for a treat as Nintendo of America rolls out a fresh selection of user icons inspired by the much-anticipated game Drag x Drive.

The new icons, available exclusively for Switch Online members, offer a creative way for fans to personalize their Nintendo Switch profiles as excitement builds for the game's upcoming release. Launched in 2018, the Nintendo Switch Online service provides players with a variety of membership perks, including online multiplayer capabilities, access to a classic NES and Super NES game library, exclusive offers, and customizable user icons.

The customization feature has steadily grown in popularity, letting players express their gaming identity with icons themed after major Nintendo franchises and upcoming releases. In its latest update, Nintendo of America confirmed that Drag x Drive-themed user icons have been added to the service and will be distributed in three distinct waves.

These fresh designs allow Switch Online members to showcase their enthusiasm for Drag x Drive, a new racing title poised to make an impact on the Nintendo Switch platform.

The icon selection will refresh periodically, ensuring a variety of styles for subscribers looking to update their profiles over time. A Nintendo spokesperson emphasized the value of player expression, stating that the continually expanding icon library allows users to "customize their profiles with images from the latest games, adding a personal touch to their Nintendo Switch experience." Much like previous user icon releases, the Drag x Drive icons are accessible through the Nintendo Switch Online section on the console, where subscribers can redeem Platinum Points earned through Nintendo’s My Nintendo rewards program.

The initiative follows Nintendo’s strategy of engaging its community through exclusive digital rewards, driving sustained interest in both the Switch Online service and featured game titles. Drag x Drive is slated for release on the Nintendo Switch with a launch date forthcoming, and anticipation is building thanks to Nintendo’s early promotional efforts, including these digital icons.

By timing the icon release ahead of the game’s debut, Nintendo aims to cultivate early engagement and brand awareness among its dedicated player base.
