A closed beta for KartRider: Drift and its cross-platform capabilities is planned for December 6, 2019. The closed beta will give players a chance to try three modes and to play cross-platform.

Meant to players the ability to express themselves through customisation and cosmetics, KartRider allows for custom karts and characters.
