Mario Kart Tour’s Gold Pass subscription service is getting a new perk, as players who have purchased it will have access to an upcoming beta for the game’s multiplayer mode.

Currently, players are only competing against bots, not other players, but multiplayer functionality is coming further down the line. Nintendo are launching a beta for the mode in December, and Gold Pass subscribers will be able to take part.

A real-time multiplayer beta test is planned for December and will be available to #MarioKartTour Gold Pass subscribers.
