The Karters 2: Turbo Charged · published
Hello everyone!
This week’s update brings something many of you have been asking for, and we’re excited to finally share it.
As always, let us know what you think in the comments, and if you’re enjoying the game, we’d really appreciate a Steam review! ❤️
This feature has been requested many times, and we’re happy to announce that you can now select a customization preset for CPU racers in your lobby.
You can now assign any preset you’ve already created to CPU racers, and yes, you can do that for each CPU!
In the lobby, you’ll find a new PLAYERS tab. From there, you can:
Navigate between player slots
Press Enter to open the ≡ menu
Manage presets (SP), roles, and social options for each player (Online)
Single-Player Options
Select Customization Preset for each player
... or use Random Preset to change the CPU without picking
Online Options
Kick Player
Promote to Leader
Invite friends to your lobby
View Steam profiles
Send, accept, or decline friend requests
The idea to add the ≡ menu per player came from Vipek, our second gameplay programmer, big props to him for such a greta idea! 👏
Until now, you could only hear your own character during races. That changes with this update!
You can now hear every racer’s voice lines during the race. This was a highly anticipated feature, and honestly, it adds more life and action than we imagined.
⚠️ This is the first pass of the system.
Next week, we’ll be adding audio settings that will let you tweak and customize this feature further.
A new PLAYERS tab has been added to the lobby, providing quick access to player management and social features. Clicking any player slot opens a contextual menu with available actions.

Thanks again for all your continued support, it truly means a lot to us.
We’ll see you next week with another update! ⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE – VOICE OVERS FOR ALL RACERS FEATURE IS TEMPORARILY DISABLED ⚠️
We have discovered an unexpected issue where, if at least one modded character is present in the lobby, players will hear voice overs from all racers regardless of distance.
Due to this bug, the racer voice over playback feature has been temporarily disabled.
We are actively investigating the issue and will bring the feature back as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!
