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.

In all honesty...

I truly believe that with this update CIE is going to lose many many many loyal racers. Why would they make it to where you can not see the others rating? Why is it that after I update my sons game he can't get back in? He has no game center or facebook. I told him that he needs to stop playing so that we don't lose any of his cars! He is bummed that after all his hardwork in this game he is now told he can't play or he has to start all over again. CIE please can you guys fix this!

    The whole time we say to get rid of hackers and scammers yet they do this and its like they only want the scammers and hackers playing this game. They not gonna make any money of them they got the system already beat! Yet legit racers like us (well me in particular) will never race for pinks and I for one am not going to bet anymore. The game went from the best addicting game out there to making me think about quitting.

    This update is killing me. I almost lost my account by updating (I don't use game center) and it was a pain to get it back. They need to make updates compatible for people who don't have game center.

    Honestly, syncing your account with Game Center is the only way to ensure your Rivals account won't get lost. By logging into Game Center you can access your Rival's racer on any iDevice. So it's a good thing to have.

    Should you have lost access to your racer due to the update, create or sign into Game Center and create a new racer. We will then swap the Racer on the Game Center Account with the one you want to play. Just send us a ticket through the game or email mobilesupport@ciegames.com with the subject Racing Rivals. Please include your Game Center nickname and the the old and new Rivals Racernames.

    When you say you said yes, does that mean you click keep playing? Or load user?

    It asks you if you want to load a user associated with the game center account. Since they associated his account with the game center that he made, it brought back his account back just like it was before the update.
