Kart Racing Pro – Soon Available on Steam

Back in July 2015, the unstoppable one-man developing machine Piboso announced that his Kart Racing Pro Simulator would be elevated to the next level by bringing it to Steam Greenlight.

Today, Piboso is proud to inform us that Kart Racing Pro passed the Steam Greenlight stage, and is supposed to become available by June 30th.

Kart Racing Pro Steam product page.

Piboso mentioned that at this time he has no plans to support the Steam workshop. However, you will be able to download modding and third party content for Kart Racing Pro by means of a game launcher that allows you to browse, download, vote and submit mods.

The current media shown on the Steam page is taken from an older version, and will shortly be updated with a brand new Kart Racing Pro trailer and some recent in-game screenshots. At the time of writing, Piboso is not sure if existing Kart Racing Pro accounts will be migrated to a Steam Key. In either case, both the Steam and manual downloads will remain available.
