During the February 2022 Nintendo Direct presentation, it was announced that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe would be getting paid DLC in the form of the Booster Course Pass. The paid DLC goes for $24.99 and doubles the number of courses in the game. However, Switch owners subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online and have an Expansion Pass membership can play the Booster Course Pass DLC for no extra charge as each wave of content gets released this year, and in 2023.
The paid content will roll out in six waves, with each one bringing two cups (eight tracks) to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
