Nexon announces the global shutdown of KartRider: Drift, the popular mobile, console, and PC racing game launched in January 2023. The closure impacts all global platforms, but the Asian servers (Taiwan and South Korea) will remain operational, albeit with upcoming changes.
Asian Servers Remain Active
While the global version is shutting down, players in Asia can continue enjoying KartRider: Drift. Nexon plans to revamp the Asian version, though specifics haven't been revealed. There's also no word on a potential global relaunch.
Shutdown Timeline Unclear
The exact date for the global shutdown remains unannounced. The game is currently still available on the Google Play Store, allowing players to experience it before the closure later this year.
Reasons Behind the Shutdown
Despite efforts to provide a smooth global experience, KartRider: Drift faced challenges. Players voiced frustration over excessive automation, leading to repetitive gameplay. Technical issues, including poor optimization on some Android devices and numerous bugs, further hampered the game's success. These factors prompted Nexon to refocus its efforts on the PC versions in Korea and Taiwan, aiming for a more refined and successful experience.
