No more new content
Nintendo has confirmed that there will be no further updates with new content for Mario Kart Tour. As of October 4, whatever is in the game will simply be it. This means no new courses, drivers, gliders, or karts will be added.
Tours will be recycled
Instead of new content, the game will recycle tours from older content. This news has left fans disappointed, especially considering the game was released just four years ago.
Early end to adding new content
Many fans believe it is too soon to end the addition of new content, especially since Nintendo Switch 2 is still far from being released. Some fans think Nintendo should have staggered the release of additional content to cover the time until a new Mario Kart game is launched.
"A little early in my opinion to end content for those since we still have to wait for Switch 2 then the next Mario Kart since it's unlikely to be a launch game," one player wrote on social media.
"Nintendo could've still made use of that time by selling all previous game's courses and content instead of releasing them all at once."
Speculation about the next Mario Kart
Some fans speculate about the release of the next Mario Kart game. One player tweeted, "Mark my words, Mario Kart 9 will be a Switch 2 launch title." Another player added, "Sounds about right. Launch the next console with the next Mario Kart, instant sales."
While fans are divided on their opinions, one thing is certain: the end of updates for Mario Kart Tour has left players devastated.
