Mario Kart World gets a small-yet-surprising update

Being Nintendo’s most expensive game to date, many fans held high expectations for Mario Kart World, especially when it came to post-launch support. Unfortunately, Nintendo’s 10 million+ seller has seen very little in this regard, especially compared to some of its contemporaries. It seems Nintendo hasn’t completely abandoned the game however, with MK World having just gotten a small-yet-welcome update.

Announcing and releasing the free update simultaneously, Nintendo officially detailed Mario Kart World Update 1.7.0. As mentioned, the list of changes is rather small in nature. That said, it still does bring some new features, namely:

• Two new routes added to Knockout Tour
• Drill Rally
• Boomerang Rally
• More routes to be added in the future
• You can now use your collectible stickers in photo mode

Given the potential offered by Mario Kart World, it is disappointing to see Nintendo doing so very little with its updates. That being said, the console maker knows that MK World will continue to sell consistently for the rest of the Switch 2’s life, and so they’re likely just taking their time with drip feeding content.
