KartRider Rush+ Season 30 Brings New Karts, Tracks, and a Hyundai Collaboration

NEXON’s mobile racing game, KartRider Rush+, has launched its Season 30 update, titled “World 2”, featuring new karts, characters, tracks, and celebratory events. The update also teases a collaboration with Hyundai Motor Company, marking a return to this partnership for the first time since 2020.

For those unfamiliar with the KartRider franchise, think Nexon's version of Mario Kart.

While KartRider has been a smash hit in South Korea, it hasn't seen nearly as much success in the West. Still, Nexon has been regularly pushing out updates for the game to try expanding its popularity internationally.
