The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC gives us new tracks to play, many years after the game first arrived on Switch.
As part of Wave 1 in the Booster Course Pass, there will be two new cups with four tracks each, giving us a total of eight tracks from other Mario Kart games.
This page explains the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC release time (the good news is that it’s sooner than we expected) and the update’s track list.

Mario Kart 8 DLC Deluxe Release Time in UK/GMT, EDT and PDT
UPDATE (March 18): And we’re live! You can see an overview of the list of DLC tracks now available and datamines of what’s likely to come. While you’re playing again, it’s now time to finish getting the remaining unlockables, including the elusive Gold Mario.
ORIGINAL GUIDE: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC release date is officially Friday, March 18; However, the good news is that the Mario Kart 8 DLC release date is technically Thursday for several regions:
- United Kingdom: 23:00 (GMT, Thursday)
- Europe: 00:00 (CEST, Friday)
- US East Coast: 7 pm (EDT, Thursday)
- US West Coast: 4 pm (PDT, Thursday)
This is a couple of hours earlier than most Nintendo updates, which are released around 2am UK time on the day in question. This means that in Europe, if you stay up until midnight, you can start playing.
Of course, it’s worth noting that these times could change, but either way, you can start preloading the update now so you can play right away.
If you play in Europe, we recommend that you sleep through the night and start playing first thing in the morning, when you are fully refreshed.
