Beta invites are being sent out and we're almost ready to begin! Whether you're on Steam, Nexon Launcher or Xbox One, you can now begin to download KartRider: Drift's beta client and be ready to race once the Closed Beta begins! Please remember to check your Closed Beta invite email for instructions on how to redeem your beta code on your platform of choice.

Note: Xbox One players can begin pre-downloading immediately, while Steam and Nexon Launcher pre-download will begin shortly at approximately 7:00 PM PDT (4:00 AM CEST, 12:00 PM AEST).

JUNE CLOSED BETA PERIOD:
- PDT (UTC -7): 4:00 PM Wednesday, June 3 - 6:00 AM Wednesday, June 10

HOW DO I REDEEM MY CODE?
Everyone selected to join the KartRider: Drift June Closed Beta will have been sent an email with their own Beta codes, and you can find instructions about how to redeem the codes at the links below. Players that participated in the December Closed Beta will not need to redeem a key on the platform they had played on, but will need to do so to play KartRider: Drift on other platforms.

NEXON LAUNCHER REDEMPTION
- If you signed up for a key through the KartRider: Drift website, then just log into that account with the Nexon Launcher! KartRider: Drift should already be unlocked and waiting for you to download!
- Some Racers were sent a code through other sources. To unlock the code, install and launch the Nexon Launcher and log in with your Nexon account.
- Click on "Activate Game" in the bottom-right corner of the Launcher and enter the 16-digit code to unlock KartRider: Drift!
- When the Closed Beta begins at 4:00 PM PDT on Wednesday, June 3, just click "Play" and enjoy the beta!

STEAM REDEMPTION
- Launch Steam and log into your Steam account.
- After logging into your account, go to the bottom-left corner of the window and click on "Add a Game".
- Next, click on "Activate a Product on Steam".
- Enter the KartRider: Drift PC Steam Closed Beta 2 key that you received in your email.
- KartRider: Drift Closed Beta will be unlocked in your Library, and you will be able to download it in advance of the Closed Beta.
- When the Closed Beta begins at 4:00 PM PDT on Wednesday, June 3, launch KartRider: Drift from your Library and enjoy the beta!

XBOX ONE REDEMPTION
- Sign into your Xbox One, making sure you’re signed-in with the Microsoft account you want to redeem the code with.
- Press the “Xbox” button to open the guide, then select “Home”.
- Scroll right and choose the “Store” tab.
- Choose “Use a code”.
- Enter the 25-character code, then follow the prompts. Don’t worry about hyphens, the system takes care of those for you.
- KartRider: Drift Closed Beta is now in your library, and you will be able to download it in advance of the Closed Beta.
- When the Closed Beta begins at 4:00 PM PDT on Wednesday, June 3, launch KartRider: Drift from the Library or Home screen and enjoy the beta!

KART LOGIN REWARDS
Also, throughout the Closed Beta, we'll be showing off some examples of KartRider: Drift's more amusing possibilities, giving everyone that logs in colorful new Karts to play with and enjoy!

    I was snooping around this website to find what I was looking for but I can't seem to find it so I'll ask here (pardon me if you've already answered this before.) Would it be alright if I streamed this game on Twitch.tv? I'm not really a huge streamer so I won't be attractive a big crowd but I just wanted to be sure if this game was stream friendly or if you have rules about it. Thank you for your time!

    Yes, please do stream once the beta goes live! And feel free to share your stream here or on the Discord...I love watching our Racers play the game :-D

    I still haven't receive a code yet. Do I need to do anything manually on Nexon/Steam Launcher?

    Hello,

    The Closed Beta ended at 6:00 AM PDT, so it likely was over when you tried logging in the last time.
