Early Access Release Date & Pricing Revealed!

[h2]Release Date[/h2]
After years of work, I’m super excited to finally share the big news:
The Karters 2: Turbo Charged is coming to Early Access on June 2nd, 2025!

Yep, just a few weeks away—and yep, it’s the same week Mario Kart World drops.
That means it’s going to be an epic week for all kart racing fans.

And honestly? I believe our indie kart racer has the power to surprise a lot of people!
It’s time for the karting genre to shine 🏁

[h2]What can you expect at launch?[/h2]
  • 🏎️ 16 unique race tracks
  • 🔥 6–8 battle arenas
  • 🎮 8–12 game modes – some for racing, some for battling, and some totally new like Quick Cut with semi-randomized tracks
  • 🌐 Online multiplayer with dedicated servers, clans, and ranked matches
  • 🛠️ Modding support with – over 1,000 mods already supported!
  • 👉 Check out the Workshop here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2269950/workshop/
The Steam page will get updated soon with all the final details: modes, features, languages, and more

[h2]So why Early Access?[/h2]
Originally, the plan was to do a full release.
Now, as you may have noticed, I’ve decided to launch the game in Early Access.
But don’t worry - all the game content will be there from day one - tracks, modes, multiplayer, modding.

Early Access just gives me space to add at least these two INSANE features:
  • A full Story Mode Campaign
  • An in-game track editor, so you can build and share tracks right inside the game. Modnation Racers style
Of course you can expect improvements, more content and more game modes through this EA phase as well!

[h2]Pricing[/h2]
The Karters 2 will be priced at $29.99 during Early Access with regional pricing support and launch discount.

I hope to include 4-pack bundle where you can get 4 copies in a price of 3 but Steam need to approve that first - so stay tuned for more updates about that.

[h2]The Goal - Full Release[/h2]
The goal is to launch the full version by the end of 2025, simultaneously with Consoles, with modding, in-game track editor, story mode and online cross-play support on Consoles from day one.

[h2]Devlogs[/h2]
Leading up to launch, I’ll be posting devlog updates almost daily - right here on Steam, in the Discord, and on X.
