Nintendo Music Browser Version Launches on PC, Adds Mario Kart World Tracks
By expanding Nintendo Music to browsers and car platforms, Nintendo is treating its game soundtracks as a cross-device subscription perk rather than a mobile-only feature, potentially increasing the value proposition of Nintendo Switch Online for users who primarily game on PC or commute.
Reporting from 6 sources: GAME Watch (Impress), 4Gamer.net, ASCII.jp, KAI-YOU, and 2 more.
Nintendo began offering a browser version of its Nintendo Music service on June 2, 2026, allowing subscribers to access the game music streaming platform from PCs and tablets without installing an app. The service, previously limited to a smartphone app for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, now also supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for in-car listening. A new personalized playlist feature called Recommended Mix, which curates songs based on listening history and played games, was added to the app version. Alongside these platform expansions, Nintendo began streaming music from Mario Kart World, a flagship title for the Nintendo Switch 2. Tracks from the Free Run mode will be added sequentially in the future. The web version displays available titles and playlists in a list format on larger screens, and users log in with their Nintendo Account to start listening immediately.
