If you’re the owner of an Xbox One, then you’re probably a huge fan of all things Microsoft. You might even own an Android phone, but there’s one piece of Nintendo hardware that you can’t get your hands on, the Switch.

That doesn’t mean that Mario Kart is coming to Xbox soon, though.

So far, the only place to get Mario Kart is on a Nintendo platform, whether that be Wii, Wii U, 3DS, or Switch.

If you want to play Mario Kart on an Xbox (or PlayStation 4), you’re out of luck.

The good news is that Microsoft has attempted to bring more games to its platform this generation with its Play Anywhere program.

The good news is that Microsoft has attempted to bring more games to its platform this generation with its Play Anywhere program. Play Anywhere is a program that allows you to buy a game on one platform and play it on both Xbox and PC.

It was introduced in 2016, so if you’re still rocking an Xbox One, you won’t be able to play any of these games yet (though they will probably be added once the next generation of consoles comes out). 

If you have been holding out hope for more first-party Nintendo titles on your preferred console or PC, there’s no need: Nintendo isn’t supporting the program—and it’s unlikely they’ll change their mind in the future.

It looks like, for now at least, Mario Kart will stay exclusive to Nintendo platforms.

It looks like, for now at least, Mario Kart will stay exclusive to Nintendo platforms. Microsoft has its own racing game called Forza, which is exclusive to Xbox consoles and PC.

It’s possible that one day Nintendo and Microsoft might partner on a crossover title, but not yet with Mario Kart.

Conclusion

Until Nintendo decides to put Mario Kart on other platforms, it will stay exclusive to them.
