Nintendo has expanded its Nintendo Music offering for Switch Online members with a major content and platform update.
Released as App Store version 1.6.0 and announced in a Nintendo video and store notes on June 2, 2026, the update adds the Mario Kart World soundtrack and new platform compatibility for the mobile app.
What’s included in the June 2 update
- The Mario Kart World soundtrack is now available in Nintendo Music.
The collection contains 130 tracks with a total runtime of roughly 4 hours and 13 minutes.
Nintendo has indicated that additional 'Free Roam' tracks are planned to arrive in future updates.
- The app update (listed as version 1.6.0 on the App Store) adds official support for iPad and CarPlay, enabling the app to run on tablet devices and compatible in-car displays.
- Siri integration has been added, allowing users to search for tracks by voice on supported Apple devices.
- Nintendo published a new video confirming the service can also be accessed in web browsers and highlighting the app’s compatibility with tablet devices and car screens.
Rewritten statement for clarity
Nintendo summarized the app’s intent as making game soundtracks broadly accessible, emphasizing that fans can now listen to Nintendo Music 'anytime and anywhere.' In clear journalistic terms: Nintendo says the service is designed to let subscribers stream game music across multiple devices and settings, whether on a tablet, via a car display, or through a browser.
Other content and context
Nintendo Music already hosts a range of Nintendo soundtracks.
The Mario Kart World collection joins existing Mario Kart soundtracks and a selection of additional titles and samples, including tracks from Kirby Air Riders and special release samples from Donkey Kong Bananza.
The service remains a benefit for Nintendo Switch Online members and continues to receive incremental updates that expand both its catalog and device support.
Why this matters
The June 2 update broadens how and where Switch Online members can experience Nintendo’s music catalog, moving beyond smartphone-only playback to multi-device access with Siri voice search and CarPlay integration.
For players who follow Nintendo’s music releases, the addition of a substantial Mario Kart World collection represents a significant catalog expansion.
Reported by Liam Doolan, this update is available now via the App Store entry for Nintendo Music (v1.6.0) and through Nintendo’s official channels.
