Oh Baby Kart

What is Oh Baby Kart?

Oh Baby Kart is a free-to-play arcade kart racer developed and published by Oh Baby Games. It entered Early Access on Steam on 18 April 2024 and was fully released on 8 October 2024. The current build, which the studio calls Oh Baby Kart 3.0: The Big One, is built around a simple pitch on its Steam page: pick a class, pick an ultimate, and go. Characters are purely cosmetic. Your speed comes from your class (Speed, Balanced, Handling or Acceleration), the ultimate ability you bring and the Mods you equip, and every pick gives something and costs something.

How to play

Race Royale is the main online mode: one worldwide queue that anyone can join, with empty seats filled by bots that are clearly marked. The Gauntlet is a roguelike racing run. You choose your next stop, draft a card after every race and build a kart that bends the rules, then face your rival in the Final and see how deep you can go in Endless. A new Daily Gauntlet run appears every day. Time Trial feeds the weekly Knockout Cup: players qualify from Monday to Friday, the fastest half race the semi-final on Saturday and the final on Sunday. A Track Builder lets you draw a course freehand, add jumps, boost pads and themes, race your own ghost and play tracks other players have shared on the Steam Workshop. For streamers, Custom Game lets a Twitch chat drop fries and bombs, black out a racer, mirror their steering or spin their camera, with cooldowns to keep it fair.

Platforms, cost and requirements

Oh Baby Kart is free on Steam for Windows. The minimum spec is Windows 10 64-bit, 8 GB of memory, a GTX 1050 Ti or Radeon RX 570 and 15 GB of storage. It has full controller support on every screen, 16 languages and Steam achievements. On 28 October 2026 the studio added an optional Full Game add-on at $9.99, which unlocks the full three-act Gauntlet, unlimited Quick Runs, local split-screen and publishing tracks to the Workshop. Race Royale, Custom Game, Time Trial, the Knockout Cup, the Daily run and playing Workshop tracks stay free.

Where the crypto part sits

The Steam game needs no wallet and plays like any free racer. The on-chain layer is the Oh Baby Pass, a collection of 1,250 Ethereum NFTs that Oh Baby Games minted on OpenSea in October 2025. The pass is designed to level up as its holder plays and to carry across the studio's titles, which also include the card battler Shogun Curse and the deck-building adventure Pawker. The studio is backed by a $6 million seed round.
