Mobile racing game developed by Nintendo
Mario Kart Tour, Nintendo's free-to-play mobile racing game, will become unplayable after September 30, 2023, as Nintendo shuts down its servers. Since its release in 2019, the game has amassed over 100 million downloads. Players react with mixed emotions to the news.
Mario Kart Tour, Nintendo's mobile racing game, will shut down on September 29 after a 7-year run, with no offline version offered to players. The game, which initially sparked controversy with its gacha-style mechanics, contributed to the development of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Switch expansion pass. Players will enjoy subscription-level benefits until the shutdown.
