To our loyal fans,

Following on our April community update, our team is hard at work to bring you new content and features to enjoy. We have an update planned in the near future to introduce some quality-of-life improvements to the game. While multiplayer racing mode still is our top priority, we expect this feature will require more work and to be available Holiday 2022.

We are committed to bringing you the best experience possible and have some exciting content planned in the meantime. You can expect a new engine/class, and multiple time-of-day track conditions in Q3 2022. We are aware of the many requests for content including new karts, weather and custom helmets and are eager to bring these, among other things, to life. For more information visit: https://motorsportgames.com/kartkraft-community-update-may-2022/

The team can’t thank you enough for the continued support – The future of KartKraft is bright, and we can’t wait to share more information with you!

In light of recent community discussion we wanted to take a few moments to give you all clear assurance that development work on KartKraft continues and has in no way slowed since coming out of Early Access. We remain committed to creating the best simulator in its class and are as excited as ever for the future of KartKraft and its community of players.

A multiplayer racing mode, to go along with our initial online offering has been a key focus of the team since coming out of early access; something we know that you as a community have been looking forward to and that we have been wanting to bring to KartKraft for some time. As you will appreciate, this is a significant undertaking for a small team, and we don’t want to rush this feature out until it’s robust and of the quality that you all expect.

In the meantime, we have some other updates in the works that we think you’re going to like, and that will be rolled out prior to multiplayer races. By the middle of next month, some of these updates will already be live and we will have more details to share about our plans for KartKraft going forward.

The development team would like to thank you all for your ongoing support of KartKraft – it means a lot to us that you’re so passionate about the game that we’ve poured so much of our energy into.

The highly anticipated full release of KartKraft is finally here! Over the past year we have completely overhauled your karting experience including massive quality of life improvements, a brand new audio engine, additional tracks, karts and multiplayer mode. In this release, you will be able to race with more options than ever before! Take the wheel of the brand new Monster Kart, check out the new Hangar Track, and enjoy multiplayer on all karts with up to 25 drivers!

We want to end 2021 with a bang, and this month's content update won't disappoint. The long awaited multiplayer beta is now available in KartKraft! Practice with up to 25 drivers in the KA100 kart and experience the true to life Whilton Mill track. We have made huge strides this year adding new content for our fans to enjoy, and our team can't wait to show you what's to come in 2022. See you on the track!

This month's content update features a completely overhauled audio engine and a new bodykit for the KartKross vehicle.

Paying close attention to detail, we have remastered every piece of audio to bring you into a more immersive and fun environment.

We even added new music options for you to enjoy too!

As we gear up toward the end of the year for the hotly anticipated multiplayer update, this build adds several improvements to the newly released 'KartKross' vehicle which puts you in the seat of a 300kg, 120hp rocket capable of 0-60mph in less than 3 seconds.
