KartRider: Drift Racing Game Prepares Farewell

Nexon announced the global shutdown of KartRider: Drift, the mobile, console, and PC game launched in January 2023. However, the Asian servers (Taiwan and South Korea) will remain operational, undergoing a revamp soon. Nexon hasn't revealed specifics about the Asian version's changes or potential future global relaunch.

Will Asian Servers Also Shut Down?

No, the Asian versions in Taiwan and South Korea will continue. They are slated for an update, but details are scarce.

When is the Global Shutdown?

Nexon hasn't provided a specific date. The game is currently still available on the Google Play Store, allowing players to enjoy it before the year-end closure.

Reasons for Global Shutdown:

Despite efforts to provide a smooth global experience, KartRider: Drift faced challenges. Players expressed dissatisfaction with excessive automation, leading to repetitive gameplay. Technical issues, including poor optimization on some Android devices and numerous bugs, further hampered the game's success. Consequently, Nexon is prioritizing the Korean and Taiwanese PC versions, aiming for a more refined experience.
