Nexon Announces The Global Shutdown Of KartRider: Drift

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. These servers are slated for an update, although details remain undisclosed.

When is the Global Shutdown?

Nexon hasn't specified a precise date for the global shutdown, but it will occur later this year. The game is still available on the Google Play Store for now.

Reasons Behind the Global Shutdown:

Despite efforts to provide a smooth global experience, KartRider: Drift faced challenges. Player feedback highlighted issues such as excessive automation, leading to repetitive gameplay, and various technical problems including poor optimization on some Android devices and persistent bugs. These factors ultimately contributed to the decision to shut down the global version. Nexon will now concentrate on improving the PC version in Korea and Taiwan, aiming to revitalize the game's original concept.
