Game Over for 'KartRider: Drift' as Nexon Announces End of Service Worldwide

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 the possibility of a global relaunch.

Will Asian Servers Also Shut Down?

No, the Asian (Taiwan and South Korea) versions of KartRider: Drift will continue. They're slated for an update, but details remain undisclosed.

Global Shutdown Timing?

Nexon hasn't provided a precise date for the global shutdown, though the game is still available on the Google Play Store.

Reason for Global Shutdown?

Despite efforts to provide a seamless global experience, KartRider: Drift faced challenges. Player feedback cited heavy automation leading to repetitive gameplay and a lack of enjoyment. Technical issues, including poor optimization on some Android devices and numerous bugs, further hampered the game's success. Nexon is refocusing on the Korean and Taiwanese PC versions, aiming for a more refined experience.
