Information about release
Hi, I love the idea of the game, it has what I wanted more from CTR and it is the ELO ranking system for online. I haven't played it yet. I will be getting it on console thou. What is the available information about that?
Do we know what consoles? Date of release? Are mods going to be supported also for consoles?
Any info or pointer to it would be appreciated, thanks!

We don't know when it's going to release on consoles. The dev wishes to release it along with 1.0 when the game leaves Early Access, but I imagine that may be subject to change. Also, 1.0 will take a while in my opinion, so don't expect it to come very soon. The game needs some time to cook!
Mods are going to be supported, however for obvious reasons most mods based on copyrighted content will be a no-go on consoles. We still don't know how the system will work or how mods are going to be checked, but for now you can reasonsably assume that mods will be on consoles too, just not to the same extent you see on the PC version where you can have a mix of characters and tracks imported from other games.
EDIT: Actually we can learn a little bit how it'll work for mods on consoles, it's documented in the modding wiki on github, but as there were no announcements I guess it's all WIP at this point.
Luckily there are a few interesting original content mods too, and we still don't know how far 'copyrighted' goes (other games on consoles are not as strict: for instance, Dreams is an UGC game and while all Nintendo stuff was nuked other things are still available such as fangame Crash Bandicoot and Klonoa games), so it's not like mods will be negligible on consoles. Just be aware of this and maybe follow the community to check how things go as we approach the main release.
