Service Split

With the August 28 (PT) Update, the KartRider: Drift service will be split into two.

 

Racers on Console and Mobile devices, as well as all Racers outside of the regions where service is maintained, will still be able to play KartRider: Drift until early 2025 without issue, and will still be able to match and join custom races with other Racers. Additional changes for the Service Split include:

  • KartRider: Drift will no longer be downloadable by new players.
  • K-COIN will no longer be purchasable for any currency.
  • Web Coupon pages will no longer be available.
  • The Ranked Queue will conclude with this update.
  • Time Attack Rankings and Replay files will be reset.
 

Thank you for racing with us in KartRider: Drift!
