If you are a fan of Nintendo’s Mario Kart Tour for iOS, you can expect a new highly anticipated multiplayer mode coming in less than a week.

According to Nintendo, the company said today, “Multiplayer for #MarioKartTour comes out on Mar. 8, 8 PM PT! You can compete against seven other players, whether they’re in-game friends, nearby, or around the world. Are you ready to play?”

The multiplayer mode will become available on Sunday, March 8 at 8pm PT/11pm ET and will let you play against up to 7 other players. Nintendo says you’ll be able to play with your friends, people from around the world and also those nearby.



Last December, Nintendo let Gold Pass subscribers exclusively beta test multiplayer for Mario Kart Tour. Gold Pass is a paid subscription that lets users access the game’s fastest speed class and also gain other items unavailable during the free version of the game.

Mario Kart Tour is currently the #2 title in the App Store under the Racing within the Games category.
