Mario Kart World ‘Forgotten,’ as Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Title Goes a Year Without Major DLC
Mario Kart World, the best-selling title on Nintendo Switch 2, has gone over a year without receiving major DLC updates, frustrating fans who expected the platform’s flagship racing game to receive continuous content support. The disappointment came during this week’s Nintendo Direct presentation, where the company announced DLC and expansions for other popular Switch 2 titles like Donkey Kong Bananza and Pokémon Pokopia, while remaining silent about any plans for Mario Kart World. Many players purchased Mario Kart World as part of their Switch 2 console bundle, and they argue that this widespread adoption should make it a priority for content updates. With the largest install base of any game on the system, fans believe the racing title is in particular need of fresh content to maintain engagement and justify continued investment in the platform. The lack of communication about future updates has left the community concerned that the once-celebrated launch title may be receiving less attention than other entries in Nintendo’s Switch 2 library.
