Nexon announced the global shutdown of KartRider: Drift, the mobile, console, and PC racing game launched in January 2023. However, the Asian servers (Taiwan and South Korea) will remain operational, undergoing a revamp. Nexon hasn't revealed specifics about the Asian version's changes or the possibility of a global relaunch.

Will the 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 precise date, but the shutdown will occur sometime later this year. The game is currently still available on the Google Play Store.

Reasons for the Global Shutdown:

Despite efforts to provide a smooth experience, KartRider: Drift faced challenges:

• Heavy Automation: Players found the game's automation repetitive and frustrating.
• Technical Issues: Optimization problems on some Android devices and numerous bugs negatively impacted gameplay.

Due to these difficulties, Nexon decided to focus on the Korean and Taiwanese PC versions, aiming to revitalize the game's original concept.
