Start your engines, Closed Beta 3 has begun! Whether you're on Nexon Launcher, Steam, PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, all of our Closed Beta participants can start racing! The Closed Beta runs until 5:00 AM PST on Wednesday, December 15, so you have almost a full week to give it a go and let us know what you think!

Be sure to take a look at the Closed Beta FAQ article if you have any difficulties. We will update it with additional information as needed.

Looking for another reason to help us out with the beta (beyond having a blast on the track)? All Closed Beta 3 participants will earn a Pit Chief Brodi character skin for use when KartRider: Drift officially launches! Just log in, create your Racer Tag, and you're set! Feel free to stick around, though, Brodi will be disappointed if you don't hit the tracks!

    For error code 20410 please try completely uninstalling your client, and reinstalling it if this error is still occurring for you.
