Nintendo has so few games on the mobile market, but they’ve all been notably good. One of the most recent entries into the company’s repertoire of mobile games is Mario Kart Tour. Well, according to Video Game Chronicle, Nintendo is sunsetting Mario Kart Tour next month.
Mario Kart Tour launched back in 2019, and it was the center of a lot of attention. The game was fun and it gave a pretty faithful Mario Kart experience. The only issue was that the company didn’t implement a multiplayer function for some time.
The game has remained playable ever since, and it’s seen a drop off in players as time passed. It’s still available to download on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. If you want to experience this game, then you’d better do it now.
Nintendo is sunsetting Mario Kart Tour
All good things must come to an end, and Mario Kart Tour is no different. Nintendo and DeNA announced that after October 4th, Mario Kart will no longer receive any more new content. This means that there won’t be any new characters or tracks added.
This comes as quite a shocker, as Mario Kart Tour is the company’s second-highest-grossing mobile game, bringing in more than $2 million each month. It’s a fair bit behind Fire Emblem Heroes which brings in about $5 million each month.
This is unfortunate news for Mario Kart Tour fans, but the companies didn’t state that the game would be unplayable after the date. They stated that no new content will be added after the date. Hopefully, the company keeps up the servers for some more time, as Mario Kart Tour, while it’s not brand new, is still relatively recent compared to other apps.
There’s a ton of content on Mario Kart Tour now, so you’ll have a ton to dive into before the game is sunsetted.
