Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's New Update Brings 8-Player Split-Screen to Nintendo Switch 2
Nintendo’s surprise patch adds Switch 2 support, clearer visuals and faster loading, while Booster Course Pass owners get a 96-race VS mode.
- Nintendo released a surprise update for MK8 Deluxe adding support for the new Nintendo Switch, delivering "clearer visuals" for high-resolution TVs and faster loading times.
- Originally released for the Nintendo Switch in April 2017, MK8 Deluxe has amassed 71 million players since launching a month after the console's debut. The game is an updated version of the title first released for the Wii U in 2014.
- Nintendo added support for eight players in split-screen on the Switch, doubling the original capacity. To play with eight people, users need additional Joy-Cons or Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers connected to the system.
- Players with the Booster Course Pass can now access a "96 Races" endurance challenge in the VS Race rule settings spanning all courses in the game and its DLC.
- Switch owners can now use CameraPlay to display their face during races, though this feature requires a separate USB camera and participation in a GameChat session for proper functionality.
