Super Yooka-Laylee Kart playtest appears on SteamDB

A SteamDB entry lists a playtest build titled Super Yooka-Laylee Kart, a listing noticed by users who monitor new entries on the database. The entry identifies the build but does not include a release date or confirmed platform list.

Because SteamDB tracks Steam app data, the listing indicates a PC build was uploaded for testing or limited external playtest access. The entry contains no screenshots, gameplay footage or developer notes.

Playtonic posted the phrase “faster ways to go” on its X account shortly after the listing appeared. The studio has not provided an official statement about the title or the playtest.

The SteamDB record does not disclose the game’s roster, tracks, modes or whether it will include online multiplayer. It also does not list planned console versions or dates for broader testing.

Playtonic previously released Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, a 2D platformer available on multiple consoles. The studio has run promotions tied to past releases, including limited-edition giveaways, and earlier technical reviews highlighted the performance of its recent titles on modern hardware.

The listing and Playtonic’s social post appeared during the run-up to Summer Game Fest. Playtonic and event organizers have not confirmed any plans for an official reveal at the showcase.
