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.
Unusually large iCloud file
Maybe one of the devs can help with this - I typically back up my games on the iPhone to iCloud. I recently received a message that I was nearing my 5 GB limit, and when I checked, I saw that Racing Rivals took more than 2.5 GB of space in my backup. Everything else is incredibly minimal.
Is there a reason that the Racing Rivals iCloud backup is so large?

I wonder if this will be addressed in future updates from the devs. Hopefully they are aware of the issue.
Thanks for the update! I'll be on the lookout for it.
Also, I have to say that all of the devs here are so much more responsive than other games I've played. I really appreciate it, and very much enjoy the conversations. And the April Fool's Day event, getting to play with you all, was great! Thanks again!
