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.

How the hell did that update even made it to the game?? Do you test your stuff before? Its unbelievable how it crashes all the time for no reason! Also the so much lag it makes the game unplayable!

    We do test. As with many games. We can test and test, but nothing really prepares you for what could happen when you go from a handful of devices testing something to 100s of thousands of devices playing it. Issues occurred that we didn't foresee unfortunately and this was a bigger update. So we apologize, but we are working hard to get these issues resolved.

    I've noticed very little response from CIE regarding the horrible update. Actions speak louder than words. In this case, LACK of action and communication speaks the loudest. I used to play daily. Now I hardly ever play. I've found other games to play in my free time. Games that work and work well. I hope one day CIE fixes this game as I did enjoy it. For now...my money and time goes elsewhere
