Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Virtual Karting is a physics-focused sim that benefits greatly from real driver and tuner feedback. Karting setups are deeply technical (tire pressure, toe, caster, camber, torsion bar, ride height etc.) and we want the community to help us validate and push the simulation accuracy before a full release. Early Access lets us build the right sim alongside the people who will use it most.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate around 12 to 18 months, though we won't rush a full release until the simulation meets the quality bar we're aiming for.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to expand track content, add more kart classes and chassis configurations, and refine the physics model based on community feedback. We also plan to improve UI and data telemetry tools. The core simulation foundation is already in place. The full release will build on top of it with multiplayer support, track builder tool and a full competitive platform where players can take part in organized go-kart sim championships.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The physics simulation is functional, including a fully adjustable kart setup system covering geometry, tire settings, and drivetrain. Players can tune and test setups on available tracks.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually raise the price as content and features are added. Early Access buyers get in at the lowest price as a thank-you for supporting development early.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback will directly shape the simulator. We'll use community hubs to gather input on physics feel, setup behavior, and feature priorities. Bug reports and tuning feedback from real kart drivers are especially valuable to us.”

About This Game

Real karting has a feel no simulator has ever captured. Virtual Karting is built to change that.

Developed from hundreds of hours behind the wheel of real karts, every system in Virtual Karting is designed around authentic physical behavior - the flexing chassis, the biting tires, the subtle weight shifts that decide an entire corner.

WHAT SETS IT APART

- Physics-first simulation: chassis flex, VR mimicked body weight shift, and tire dynamics built from real-world data

- VR support: full immersion in the cockpit

- Detailed setup system: adjust wheelbase, track width, ride height, toe, camber, caster, tire pressure, and much more

- Designed for real racers: if you've driven a kart, you'll feel the difference immediately

THIS IS EARLY ACCESS BUILT WITH THE COMMUNITY

The Early Access focuses on exposing the core foundation early. Test it, break it, push it. Your feedback directly shapes the simulator.
