They say all good things must come to an end, but somehow this one feels a bit too soon. Nintendo announced today that the Mario Kart Tour ending is sadly zooming into sight. The mobile racer has been active for over four years now, and a statement from Nintendo reveals that it’s ending support for Tour in October. Many of the best Mario Kart tracks are already in the palm of your hand.
Nintendo added considerable amounts of content to Mario Kart Tour over the years, with many of the best tracks from the mobile title even ending up among the ranks of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course DLC. Mario Kart Tour’s final piece of new content is the Battle Tour, set to go live on October 4, 2023. After this, all content will be a rotation of characters and items from previous tours.
It’s sad to see but not entirely surprising, considering Nintendo has already stopped support for mobile titles such as Miitomo, Dragalia Lost, and even Dr. Mario World. We hope that Nintendo continues to keep the servers alive so fans of the game can carry on racing and enjoy the many exclusive tracks still only found within Mario Kart Tour. Meanwhile, mobile titles Fire Emblem Heroes and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp still seem to be going strong. For now, at least.
