See you on Janu(Pacific Time) and get ready to race! In the meantime, the dev team will keep working to polish KartRider: Drift and prepare to meet you on the tracks. All of this was only possible due to the amazing support and patience of you, our Racers. We would like to thank you on behalf of the entire development team. Once we are ready, we will expand onto Xbox and PlayStation consoles, allowing you to encounter the game in its completed form with full cross-platform play and progression on PC, mobile, and console! You can experience KartRider: Drift first with cross-platform play and progression on PC and mobile platforms through Preseason that starts on Janu(Pacific Time). It's almost time for us to officially present it to all our Racers! We’ve put a lot of elbow grease into KartRider: Drift, as we created an environment where anyone can easily play on the device of their choice whenever and wherever they want. “ As long as your Nexon account is linked to the account you use on your platform, your progress and collected items will transfer between accounts, allowing you to play on any system.“, the FAQ tells us.We’re excited to announce that KartRider: Drift will take its next drive into the world on Wednesday, Janu(Pacific Time) with the start of Preseason!

Note that the progress will be transferable from one platform to another once a Nexon account has been created.

With 13 characters, 21 karts and 36 circuits, this beta will come very close to the result expected at the launch of the game, which is due to take place later this year. These will need to download the TestFlight app and head here. Also, the beta will be limited to 10,000 participants in the case of the iOS platform. This beta without registration will be open to all PlayStation, Xbox, PC and mobile players who only have to download the client from their store without further delay, except on Steam where it will apparently be necessary to wait until the last moment.

With KartRider Drift, the time has finally come for Nexon to try an approach in Western markets, which requires a cross-platform release as well as cross-play support. According to Nexon statistics, more than half of the Korean population and 45% of the Taiwanese population have played KartRider at least once. Launched in 2004, KartRider is a free-to-play game that has generated over a billion dollars in revenue by combining PC and mobile. While Super Mario Kart has just celebrated its 30th anniversary, Nexon is about to introduce us to the Asian star of the karting game.
