Mario Kart World launches exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, the same day as the new console. Nintendo's new open-world racing game is easily the console's biggest launch title, and preorders are now live alongside the Switch 2 with multiple options are available. Fans can preorder Mario Kart World on its own for $80, or grab a $500 bundle that includes the Switch 2 and a download code for the game.

Alternatively, you can race with the Switch 2 Pro Controller and remap inputs, such as drifting, to the pair of back buttons Nintendo added to its new traditional controller.
Mario Kart World looks to be a gorgeous, expansive new entry in the long-running arcade racing series, offering a fully explorable world map for the first time. Players will be able to explore on- and off-road alongside other players, take on unique mission challenges scattered around the world, or engage in traditional racing and battle modes across numerous all-new tracks. The game will also have a staggering roster of up to 84 playable characters, with up to 24 competing at a time in the various racing modes. This is the Switch 2's marquee launch title, and if you're interested in learning more, be sure to check our latest Mario Kart World hands-on impressions.
While Mario Kart is the biggest Switch 2 launch title, it's not the only game releasing for the new console on June 5. You can also pick up the Switch 2 Editions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, which will feature enhanced visuals and integration with a new smartphone app that lets you check the map and other new features right from your phone. Other Switch 2 games launching on June 5 include a port of Capcom's popular fighting game Street Fighter 6. These new Switch 2 Editions of Zelda and Street Fighter 6 are also getting new sets of Amiibo that are available to preorder as well. There are even more Switch 2 games available to preorder, and you'll find a list of them all below.
