This morning the official Mario Kart Tour Twitter account announced a new update coming to the game in late September that will include some major updates to the popular mobile game.
The biggest change to be noted is the implementation of the Spotlight Shop, which will offer players the opportunity to exchange rubies for new customization options. Previously, players would exchange rubies for a pipe that granted a random assortment of items, rather than allowing players to choose what items they want.
More information about this new update was shared via an in-game notification sent out to players. YouTuber Jenny Geist took to Twitter and shared the in-game notification she received upon starting up the game this morning.
The in-game notification clarifies and provides some more information from the initial announcement tweet, such as the Spotlight Shop will not only feature new items, but previous items will be returning as well. It also notes the the Spotlight Shop will go live starting in tours beginning October 4th.
