KartRider: Drift ‘Global Racing Test’ set for August 31 to September 6

Featuring cross-play between all platforms.

Nexon will host a “Global Racing Test” for KartRider: Drift from August 31 at 6:00 p.m. PT / 9:00 p.m. ET until September 6 at 6:00 a.m. PT / 9:00 a.m. ET, the company announced. It will feature cross-platform play support across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, iOS, and Android.

The global test encompasses North America, Latin America, Europe, Japan, and Korea. For iOS, only 10,000 people will be able to participate on a first-come, first-served basis. iOS users who wish to participate will also need to download the TestFlight app.

Here is a brief overview of the “Global Racing Test,” via Nexon:

The “Global Racing Test” will also showcase updated content like the new artificial intelligence mode matching system that allows racers to practice fast matchmaking and a kart Upgrade System that will allow players to fine tune their kart’s performance. The License System, which teaches players to learn driving skills according to a given mission, adds a new grade, L3—the highest difficulty level—to test your grit as the best of the best. Nexon has added a variety of further improvements since the last closed beta, including an information page which provides at-a-glance views of your play history, plus the addition of an in-game achievement system that provides points each time you participate in an activity.

Further details, including links to download the game on your preferred platform, are available via the official website.
