Over the course of the last five years, Racing Rivals has grown into one of the most hardcore racing games in the world. This loyal community has spent countless hours competing in millions of races in “winner take all” fashion – all in the name of Turf Wars and pink slips.
However, all good things must come to an end… After spending time evaluating Rivals and its future – we’ve decided that it’s time to move on. Simply put, the revenue generated from Racing Rivals unfortunately no longer covers the cost of operations. This was not an easy decision to make.
On March 31st, 2019 – Rivals will be racing off into the sunset, and will be permanently shut down. Current players have until this date to utilize any accumulated virtual currency. We’ll be offering some massive reductions in the cost of crates, installs and repairs in addition to a reduction on timers as you race your way into the history books. Effective immediately, no new in-app purchases will be permitted.
In closing, a resounding and sincere THANK YOU to our extremely driven fans for your loyalty and dedication over the years – we hope you’ve enjoyed playing Racing Rivals as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it.

Hey all.
So as many of you know, the news broke out earlier this week that Glu Mobile Inc (www.glu.com) has acquired Cie Games. After reading posts here on the forums and posts on our Facebook page, it’s clear that there is some confusion and a lot of questions about what this means for us here at Cie Games and more importantly what this means to Racing Rivals.
First off, no, we did not just sell the game just to run off with wads of cash in our hands. Glu Mobile acquired the studio. This includes all Cie Games IPs and all the staff that work here. We are all now under the Glu Mobile umbrella. What this means for Racing Rivals is that our team will have more resources at our disposal and we will be able to bring the game to a wider audience.
Also what this means is that the update we had planned for Monday will again have to be postponed while we make the transition from Cie Games under Cie Studios to whatever our new name will be under Glu Mobile. For this we apologize. In the meantime, while we work through the transition, our dev folks will still working on fixing those bugs, it will just take longer than we expected.
Until we get this update out, we will not be able to offer compensation for any losses on a wide scale. Once we have it up and running we can then discuss any forms of compensation. You can however contact Customer Service to look into race issues. Please keep in mind, they most likely will not be able to help with general race issues, but they can certainly look into specific issues.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while we make this transition from Cie Studios to Glu Mobile.

I will try and get as much info as I can about the update as we go, and I am sorry about having to be vague with the date but it does give our team a little more time to put in a few more bug fixes.
