Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Wave 5 content is already on its way, now that Wave 4 released earlier in March. Nintendo has been consistent so far with the Booster Course Pass, scheduling all six DLC waves across 2022 to the end of 2023. Wave 4 also put almost a full column of question marks in the character selection screen, with five spaces for additional characters for Waves 5 and 6. Here’s when to expect Wave 5 to drop for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
What is the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Wave 5 release date?
While there is no official release date yet for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Wave 5, we expect that it is scheduled for July 2023 or August 2023.
This is based on the previous release dates for the Booster Course Pass, specifically Wave 1 on March 18, 2022 and Wave 2 on August 4, 2022. That said, since Wave 2, Nintendo has been releasing DLC content for the game every 3 or 4 months, so a July 2023 seems more likely.
Hopefully, we’ll hear more from Nintendo soon about which characters will make the cut and which tracks will be chosen for the Feather Cup and Cherry Cup for Wave 5.
