My final 2nd Ranked Queue statistics as well as comparing it to my 1st Ranked Queue statistics.

I played 157 races in 2nd Item Ranked Queue while I played 368 races in 1st Item Ranked Queue. I reached Red One-Fingered Glove in 2nd Item Ranked Queue while I reached Black Three-Fingered Glove in 1st Item Ranked Queue. A difference of 211 less races played in 2nd Item Ranked Queue compared to the first one.

I played 93 races in 2nd Speed Ranked Queue while I played 191 races in 1st Speed Ranked Queue. I reached Platinum Rank 3 in both the Ranked Queues. A difference of 98 less races played in 2nd Speed Ranked Queue compared to the first one.

I played significantly less of the game because I knew that KartRider: Drift was dead and is gonna permanently shut down any day now (which I was right when Nexon is actually permanently shutting down the game some time on early 2025).

I don't play KartRider: Drift nearly as much as I used to back in Preseason to Season 5 as well as the "Rise" update. Upon the "Northeu" update to now, I barely even play the game as the game is dead with dead queues.
Item mode is still playable, but Speed mode (along with Mode Lab) is dead and unplayable.
I also don't like the way "Ranked" is for Item Mode and Speed mode currently in the game. Players gain points at any place even when DNFing / retiring at 8th place and never lose points. The risk and reward factor in true Ranked mode is gone since the "Rise" update took it away.

Also, KartRider: Drift is a one year old game as well. The game's Year 1 anniversary was on January 11, 2024 and I don't think it's gonna get any better from there with the lack of a playerbase.

I think I proved enough that I liked and enjoyed KartRider: Drift when I reached Top 1000 in Season 1 Item Grand Prix and reached Master Rank 3 in Season 2, 3, 4, and 5 Item Grand Prix. My problem with the game is the long queue times due to lack of players playing this game.

With how KartRider: Drift is losing its players, I don't think it has a future. The game will permanently shut down soon. (Well, not "soon" soon. But soon as in one or two years, which is a very short lifespan for a free-to-play online-only game.)

KartRider: Drift is a free-to-play racing game for PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Mobile (iOS and Android) platforms.
Basically KartRider: Drift is gonna be available for every platform with cross-play except for the Nintendo Switch (as the Switch already has Mario Kart). lol
