This article details everything you need to know about Mario Kart World, including the platforms it supports, its current availability, future plans, and more.

Availability of Mario Kart World on Nintendo Switch
As mentioned above, Mario Kart World is currently unavailable on the original Switch. However, it is available for purchase on Nintendo Switch 2 for $79.99. Additionally, it is an exclusive game for Nintendo Switch 2, which means that you can only access it on this platform.
The launch of MKW coincided with the release of Nintendo Switch 2, so it is clear that the open-world kart racing game was launched as an exclusive title to increase the hype around the debut of the new console.
What is Next for Mario Kart World?
Unlike other games on the Switch 2, such as Deltarune, which are available across the same family of consoles, Mario Kart World does not offer this kind of compatibility as of now. For instance, if you purchase Deltarune on either the Nintendo Switch or the Switch 2, you can access it on both consoles.
Therefore, it is reasonable to anticipate that Mario Kart World might become available on the original Switch in further updates. However, all of this is pure speculation and not confirmed by any official source. It is recommended to keep checking the official Nintendo handle on X for the latest updates.
