Mario Kart Tour has seen huge success on mobile with more than 14 million downloads so far but players were sad to find a lack of real multiplayer competition in the first mobile installment of the kart racer. Today Nintendo announced that the promised multiplayer mode will finally start its engines this December.
If you’d like to race and compete with your friends, or against other players from all around the world, you are in luck! The big N will be adding a live multiplayer feature this December, at least in Beta form.
How to participate in the Beta Test
To be able to participate in this beta test you will need to be a Mario Kart Tour Gold Pass Subscriper. This is Mario Kart Tours $4.99/month subscription model that unlocks new characters and other goodies every month.

Nintendo announced that Nintendo Online Subscribers will be getting free access to selected games each month as part of their subscription.
Much like Sony and Microsoft who offer free games to their subscribers each and every month, Nintendo will now follow their footsteps and start offering free game trials.
PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players are already used to this format as PlayStation Plus and Game Pass offer free games each month that you can enjoy and play as long as you have a valid subscription.
Nintendo is taking a slightly different path as the big N will only be offering free trials of selected games. The first game you can try out is Mario Tennis. The free trial will last from August 7th – August 13th. If you have a Nintendo Online Subscription, you will be able to download and play the game for free during that time.
The biggest perk is that if you end up enjoying the game, you can grab it for a 30% discount at the end of the trial up until August 20th.
