Mario Kart 8's New DLC Tracks Now Available To Preload Ahead of Launch
The preload for the first wave of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC is live for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members. The DLC is part of the Booster Course Pass, which will release 48 tracks over six waves of content, which are expected to keep launching until 2023.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe launched in 2017 and it quickly became the Nintendo Switch's best-selling game, a position it holds to this day. The game is a remastered version of Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U, which includes all of the DLC content, as well as some new additions, including a revamped Battle Mode. Nintendo surprised the world during the February 2022 Nintendo Direct, when it revealed that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe would be receiving DLC tracks, even though the game had been available for five years without any major updates. This shocked many fans, as rumors that Mario Kart 9 was going to be announced had been circulating, yet Nintendo still isn't done with the current Mario Kart game.
