With Switch 2 upon us, and with it a big, ambitious Mario Kart game, PS5 users may be left wondering — where's our spangly new kart racer?
Wonder no more, as publisher Microids has announced Garfield Kart 2: All You Can Drift.
From developer Eden Games, all we've seen so far is the above teaser trailer and a few screenshots, but the game is due for release on 10th September for PS5.
It seems the game will have you playing as various beloved Garfield characters as they race through themed environments, such as pirate, western, and detective.
Other kart racer staples are here, including pickups to use against other drivers, shortcuts to discover, and local and online multiplayer.
The original Garfield Kart released for PS4 all the way back in 2019, so it's been a while since Garfield's been in the driver's seat. If you're pining for some kart racing fun and haven't locked down a Switch 2 yet, it's good to know that lasagne-loving cat has our back.

Thing is, it genuinely looks quite good.
@get2sammyb Just a reminder PS5 also has free to start Disney Speedstorm which updates with new racers and tracks every 12 weeks or so for the past 6 months but PS barely ever mentions it. News section doesn't have an update for a year now, June 2024. Maybe it isn't in the UK/EU? Or not enough skin?😂
Game has a lot going on, several multi-player offline and online options. I don't play it as much as I used to b/c it's too pay to play now, but the racing works.

I won't go cancelling my Switch 2 pre order just yet
@rjejr I played it quite a lot too!
Yeahhhhhh, i will just get a switch 2 down the line once the kinks are ironed out.
I mean, Switch 2 will have Mario Kart World and Garfield Kart 2.☝🤓
@DonkeyFantasy or better yet, PlayStation All-Karts. With the right characters, the usual suspects wouldn't even be able to accuse it of "cloning" antigrav mechanics (not that it would deter them). Not to mention that Sony already has ModNation Racers in its IP closet.
@rjejr It was decent enough but way too much 'pay to play'.
@nhSnork ModNation Racers was brilliant - shame it's all shut down now. Another Sony travesty, considering San Diego Studios (I think) did ModNation: World Tour for the Vita.
We're all waiting for Sonic Crossworlds anyway (PLEASE be up to the standards of the All-Star Racing titles!)
@nhSnork real hardcore gamers with expensive houses and beautiful girlfriends remember when Crash Nitro Kart had anti gravity mechanics back in 2003
I was not prepared for that headline.
Wonder which will sell more copies 🤔 😂
Clutching at straws with that one push square
@Dr-zoidburg nah. They're just trying to be funny (and succeeding, imo).
@DonkeyFantasy Astro Kart would be amazing!
People also seem to be forgetting that Sonic has a wonderful kart racer series. The last one was a bit of a backslide, but the two All Stars racing games were excellent and, imo, are better than Mario Kart.
Suck it, Mario Kart World - this cat loves to race and hates Mondays.
Yeah, I'm good... Literally just started Mario Kart World after getting back from the Switch 2 midnight launch 👌
we need Bloodborne Kart!
Im good. Still have a SNES with Mario kart and a N64 with Diddy Kong racing and Mario kart 64. May the gods be mercyfull with my friend who give me the cables to play this on An oled!
80 bucks for a kart game Nintendo must high asf the Nintendo fanboys will eat that no matter how insulting it is
@Anya-chan
I'd like to think most sensible people will have ordered the bundle in which case it (Mario Kart) only costs £35
@Member_the_game lets be honest humans are well hmmm dumb plain and simple so don't be surprise if even the most sensible ppl f...that up
@Member_the_game Me neither! Will be sitting at home when I return from work.
I don't see any rush in getting a switch 2 plus I aren't desperate for one wait till they are easily available plus my backlog on games is crazy as it is
That's like saying; "Sure, Nintendo has Mario, but Playstation has Super Onion Boy."
nintendo lives rent free on other platform sites
@cburg
I'm going to pick mine up in 2 hours and 23 minutes.
Not that I'm counting down the time you understand haha
With Eden games behind this one it may be better then the first one was, but come on this is going to be terrible and I'm not even a Mario Kart fan I have a few but I'm not big on them.
Also makes it clear what Eden have been up to since the Gear Club Unlimited 2 PS5 port I guess. Not the game I'd have assumed they would be working on but after all those car licenses/few music tracks they had to do something of course and a licensed game like this sure, it pays the bills.
The first one was.... something.
This may be ok but I don't have high hopes for it. Whether weapons or track design or anything really.
Eden puts the effort in sure but yeah.....
Then again it isn't the Kya Dark Lineage or Test Drive studio (they didn't make Solar Crown either thankfully).
Just checked Wikipedia and a Gear Club Unlimited 3, nice but PC only so far sigh, Switch 2 maybe.... alongside Smurf Kart and Cosmic Royale. They are getting there clearly.
@get2sammyb @sanderson72 Speedstorm is so pay to play at this point it's basically a trial, but if someone wanted to race that part is good, and plenty to keep one busy. Pushsquare covers all of those other free to play games so why not an article on this 1 every new season update? 🤷♂️
@rjejr Honestly, because no one reads them. I see the stats. But if they do a big update or add something I'm interested in I absolutely will cover it.
@get2sammyb Well I suppose I can't argue with that. Their own website couldn't even be bothered to have a News item for Big Hero 6. Part 2 starts today. They mostly lost me when they stopped letting us get the season pass w/ multi-player earned currency, but they fully lost me when they started making seasons 2 or 3 parts. Oh and the Tron track is not great. And Big Hero 6 is too similar to the Incredible's track. They need to mix it up a bit more. Disney owns everything but no Stars Wars or Marvel. 🤷♂️

@rjejr I personally want Alice in Wonderland.
@get2sammyb Ooh good one. Cheshire cat, tweedle Dee's & dum, mad hatter, mushrooms (if Nintendo doesn't sue them) making you bigger and smaller as you drive. Wow that would be great. They should pay you and thank you for that. So, it'll never happen. 😂
Just looked and nothing I can find after this season13w/ Big Hero 6, which part 2 just started today and there may be a 3rd part, hard to tell. So anything is possible for 14. Who knows, maybe it will be good enough for you to write an article about. Will you write one if they shut down?🤷♂️
