KartRider: Drift News

Hey Racers!

We're back with more installments of our Highway Hangout series of streams! These streams will be more casual hangout sessions with CM Smallerbee and occasionally a guest or two. We will run viewer games, license mission tips, maybe an improvised tournament, maybe a giveaway or two, and other secret bonus segments. You never know what's in store except a good time! Come check that out on:

• Thursday, August 3rd at 4:00 PM PDT
• Monday, August 7th at 4:00 PM PDT.
• Wednesday, August 23rd at 2:00 PM PDT.
• Tuesday, August 29th at 11:00 AM PDT.

 
Don't forget to head to our Discord server and sign up for the @Contests & Events role to be notified when we go live!

These livestreams will be available on the following platforms:

• Twitch
• YouTube
• Twitter
• Steam
• Facebook

Attention Racers,

We have released an optional update for KartRider: Drift on Mobile devices, to resolve the Twitter login issue. This update is not required at this time, but we recommend updating your mobile clients when possible.

About Mobile Updating:

• Update Date: Thursday, July 27th after 02:30 AM UTC.
• To update, simply go to the KartRider: Drift app on the iOS App Store or Google Play Store and press the "Update" button.
• If the "Update" button does not appear, please close the store app on your device and relaunch it.
• We recommend updating the client through WiFi, for increased speed and to minimize data usage.
