I am excited to announce that the Public Online Playtest for The Karters 2: Turbo Charged launches tomorrow June 5th, 6PM CEST— and yes, modding is included!

---

Thanks to your community feedback, I've decided to include full modding support in the playtest!

• Custom characters and vehicles
• Custom tracks (with Time Trial leaderboards)
• Private lobbies with modded races
• You can create and publish your own mods!

The Steam Workshop is fully functional in the playtest build, but

⚠️ Important Information About Mods.
Please note that the Steam Workshop for the playtest operates separately from the main game's Steam Workshop. This is a Steam requirement that cannot be changed.

What this means:
* Only mods that creators specifically re-publish for the playtest version will be available
* You won't see every mod from the full game during the playtest
* You can create and publish your own mods during the playtest phase
* Most active modders will continue to have access to the beta build

First of all, thank you so much for being here — I can truly feel the excitement building around the game’s release and it means a lot! 💙


The tough news first: despite all the sleepless nights, countless hours, and the fact that all tracks, arenas, and game modes are in place — I can’t release the game just yet.

My original plan was to test the game with a small closed community group before launch. Unfortunately, I ended up building things right up to the last minute, and that testing phase didn’t happen.

Even though the full scope of the game is almost complete, There still might be bugs, performance issues, and other problems — simply because I didn’t have time to properly test everything, optimize everything and test everything in online (with so many game modes it is just too risky).

This game promises to be the best kart racer on the market — and while this delay is disappointing, I’d rather push the release than risk breaking your trust. The game is massive, and without solid testing, your experience just wouldn’t be where it should be.

😞 I’m just as disappointed as you are. But the game’s future , and community around the game - matters more than pushing it out too soon and risking killing the game after all these years.

To make sure we do this properly, the new release date is
But Here’s the Good News - you’ll still get to play part of the game and with a brand new game mode and new track,
I know many of you were ready to play — so today/tomorrow, I will launch a public playtest!
Look for the next announcement later this day

You’ll get access to:
🚗 A brand-new track
🌐 Online multiplayer support

This playtest will run all week, including the weekend — and there might even be a second one 👀

Even though the full launch is delayed, you’ll still get hands-on time with the game for free— and that might even be better for some of you.
Be sure to invite your friends and ask them to wishlist the game too 🙌

🎉 Road Breaker is seriously fun — I hope, even if you’re disappointed, you’ll understand and support the decision ❤️

Edit - Playtest registration is now open, as soon as playtest begin I will let everyone knows!
