Mario Kart 8 Deluxe version 2.2.0 patch notes

Nintendo has now shared the official patch notes for the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe version 2.2.0 update.

Naturally, the biggest element here is support for the game’s third wave of Booster Course Pass DLC. That’s not all to it, however. As we reported earlier today, a Custom Items feature has been added. Nintendo has also implemented some other adjustments and fixes.
