Your karting exploits will now look even better as a new KartKraft update adds dynamic sky and lighting. The release from Black Delta currently locks the weather to cloudy and overcast conditions, but still looks a lot more interesting and realistic.
The combination of the new skies and lighting make you have to look twice to spot whether it’s real or not. Well, it does for us, anyway….
Graphics settings have also been tweaked for shadows, with a new higher detail available on Ultra settings.
There’s less to report on for gameplay, with the main changes being a slight increase in the friction on kerbs, and some tweaks to the NTK mod track.
The original update came out on June 4th, with a further hotfix pushed out on June 5th.
