Three championships. Fifteen tracks.

Rain-soaked American streets, each lit in a single neon colour, from New York to the final on the Las Vegas Strip.

Anti-grav racing where it belongs. Every world has its own gravity, and tracks loop, corkscrew and run upside down. The rain changes too: methane on Titan, dust on Mars, meteors where there's no air.

Built for speed

Feel every ripple

Every world, from the rain-slick streets of New York to the regolith of the Moon, is generated, lit and wired for sound from scratch.

Hover physics

Spring-loaded thrusters hug the road at 90 Hz. Airbrake into corners, kiss the walls, and feel every ripple of the surface.

Boost to the limit

Hit the boost and watch the city smear into light. Top speed jumps from 340 to 460 km/h — if you can hold the line.

Worlds built from scratch

Neon cities, canyons, ski slopes, swamps, Titan's methane sea and a spinning ring station. Every facade, pine and asteroid is procedurally built and lit in HDRP.

Real rain, real sound

Sheets of rain, splash and spray, steam venting from the streets; methane drizzle on Titan and dust storms on Mars. Engines, wind and weather are synthesized live as you drive.

Chase the record

Live gaps, split deltas and a record for every track. Qualify up each championship, beat your best, and watch “NEW RECORD!” light up. In the full game on Steam, every track has a world leaderboard, and there are achievements to earn.

Play your way

Keyboard or gamepad, fully rebindable, with prompts that match your pad: Xbox, PlayStation or Steam Deck. Hints in your first races teach boost, airbrakes and respawn. Save mid-race and resume later. MPH or km/h, DLSS, motion blur and rain density all tunable.

Race your ghost

Your best lap on every track comes back as a glowing, see-through ghost, and the timing card counts how far ahead or behind it you are.

Pick your rivals

Easy, Medium or Hard. On Medium and Hard they boost to the limit, take the boost pads, brake late and come back at you when they fall behind. Each one drives to their own style, and name tags show who's who in the pack ahead.

Drone and cockpit cameras

A drone swoops over the grid before the lights, circles your craft after the flag and flies the course behind the menus. Mid-race, switch between the chase camera, the drone's high look down the road and the cockpit, right over the canopy.

Replays

After the flag, replay the race from a side drone, a chase drone, trackside or any racer's cockpit, with a sky view looking straight down in a window you can swap in. Scrub, slow it down, save your best races and export them as video.

Make it yours

In the Garage, pick a chassis (Balanced, the straight-line Interceptor or the corner-carving Carver), then paint, engine glow and livery. Racing unlocks more, and beating a rival five times earns their colours.

A soundtrack per championship

Rap metal in the city, a heavy-metal guitar solo off-road and racing rock in space. It drops out for the countdown and hits back in at GO.

The competition

Meet the grid

Five rivals from five corners of American racing, and each drives like it. Flip through the field as on the game's Drivers page: the bars come from the same numbers the AI drives by.

Rebel's banner, her helmeted portrait in pink neon, over her pink hover racer on a turntable

Rebel

Dawsonville, Georgia

North Georgia moonshine running, where stock-car racing began

Her great-grandfather outran the revenue men on mountain roads at night with a trunk full of shine. Rebel learned to drive on the same roads and never learned to lift. The rest of the field calls her the one to beat, and she agrees.

Patriot's banner in red neon over his red Interceptor with its tall rear wing

Patriot

Pomona, California

Southern California drag racing, a quarter mile at a time

Raised in the pits of the Pomona drag strip, where his father's nitro car was louder than anything else in the valley. Patriot counts reaction times in thousandths and has never lost a launch he could see coming. Corners are just the bits between straights.

Cowboy's banner in green neon over his white hover racer with a green glow

Cowboy

Amarillo, Texas

West Texas ranch roads and Friday-night dirt ovals

Cowboy learned to drive on the long, empty farm-to-market roads of the Panhandle and learned car control sliding sideways on dirt ovals every Friday night. Says nothing, wastes nothing, and holds the same line lap after lap. You only notice him when he's already past.

Nightshade's banner in violet neon over their violet Carver with its rear wing

Nightshade

Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin

Road America and the open-wheel ladder to IndyCar

Grew up at the fence at Road America, then climbed the junior open-wheel ladder and was two seasons from an IndyCar seat when the sponsor money ran dry. Nightshade took that precision to the street circuits and treats every corner like a qualifying lap. Unbeatable through the technical sections, out-dragged on the long ones.

Mustang

Detroit, Michigan

Detroit muscle cars and Woodward Avenue cruise nights

Built his first engine in his uncle's garage off Woodward Avenue at fourteen. Mustang believes every problem can be solved with more power, and on a long enough straight he's right. The newest name in the field, and the fastest thing on it flat out.

You

Your colours, your chassis

New blood on the grid

Nobody on the grid has heard of you yet. In the Garage, pick a chassis (Balanced, the straight-line Interceptor or the corner-carving Carver), then paint, engine glow and livery, with more unlocked as you race. The game keeps your head-to-head record against all five rivals: beat one five times and their colours are yours, but let one beat you too often and they become your nemesis, tagged in red on the road.

Controls

Every key is rebindable in Settings. Xbox and PlayStation pads and the Steam Deck work out of the box, and the prompts on screen name your pad's own buttons. The left stick drives the menus too.
