We’re slightly amazed that there aren’t more video games focusing on the little blue Smurfs, for we feel they would be rich for all kind of adventure. But perhaps the turning point will be the release of Smurfs Kart on Xbox and PlayStation.
Announced for an August 22nd 2023 release on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, Smurfs Kart from Eden Games and Microids will allow you the chance to discover once and for all who the fastest Smurf in the world is. Our bets are on Astro leading the charge and Clumsy bringing up the rear.
Following on from the release of The Smurfs – Mission Vileaf back in 2021, Smurfs Kart will push the brand and franchise into all-new territories, as the Smurfs go up against some of the biggest names and best kart racers of all time. We’ll find out come August whether there is a spot for them on the podium at least.
With Eden Games previously behind the like of Gear.Club Unlimited, Test Drive Unlimited and V-Rally, and Smurfs Kart already being available on Nintendo Switch, you’d think there should be enough about this karter to make a bit of an impact.
In case you are unaware of the game, Smurfs Kart will let you pick a Smurf with their individual kart and unique super power, and take in some frantic races with the whole family! You’ll get to take a head start, take shortcuts, master the Smurf’s super powers and use bonuses to rise in the rankings. Whether you play alone or with others, new beginner, or experienced driver, all will bve catered for in Smurfs Kart on Xbox and PlayStation.
The key features are:
- 12 tracks set in the Smurfs’ universe: The village, the forest, the dam, the swamps… even Gargamel’s house!
- 12 iconic playable Smurfs: Handy, Hefty, Smurfette, Papa Smurf, Jokey… choose your favorite Smurf and get ready to race! Each Smurf has their own kart and a very handy special item to help you breeze past your opponents.
- Use the world around you: Bonus items, boosts, ramps, destructible boxes, shortcuts and more!
- Finish 1st in the races where 8 Smurfs compete in frantic races.

We’ll be sure to remind you when that August 22nd 2023 release on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 comes about. If you can’t wait that long, pop over to the Nintendo eShop and play the game on Switch.
