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 future update. Nexon hasn't revealed specifics about the Asian version's changes or potential future global relaunch.
Will Asian Servers Also Shut Down?
No, the game will continue in Taiwan and South Korea.
When is the Global Shutdown?
Nexon hasn't provided a specific date. The game is still available on the Google Play Store, allowing players to enjoy it before the shutdown later this year.
Reasons for the Global Shutdown:
Despite efforts to provide a smooth global experience, KartRider: Drift faced challenges. Player feedback cited heavy automation, leading to repetitive gameplay, and technical issues like poor optimization on some Android devices and numerous bugs. These factors contributed to the decision to shut down the global version and refocus development on the Asian PC versions.
Nexon aims to revitalize KartRider: Drift in Korea and Taiwan, returning to the original game vision. Before the global servers close, be sure to check out other gaming news, such as the upcoming Roblox event, Get In The Games 2024.
