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.

    My main doesn't even get the option to join my new account when I try to join it, but if I join with the new account it goes into a random room. tried making different accounts to just see if it was the account, played through the story a little bit to see and still not able to join. have used facebook on internet explorer and chrome, galaxy note 3 and galaxy tab 2, have had problems with errors on other online games but they've all had a certain day for maintenance so they can refresh everything each week to help with errors, but who knows an help would be appreciated. :) ign Miniturbo83

    I just made a new account and found out that if I go to multiplayer in either a dodge dart (1623) or a viper gtsr (1652), it takes me to the EXACT same lobby. Something is definitely wrong.

    Update: As soon as I posted this, the cars were being placed in the correct lobbies. It took awhile though.

    It's a common problem right now. next best fix is using your main to go into a lobby , add some random as your "riend" and leave the lobby. Then go to your friends list and click on yout newly added "friend" and join in on them. your friends/farming accts should be able to join in on you now.

    Its very annoying really. Makes farming and making deals a huge pain right now.

    I have same problem but I have found a solution.... If u are on iOS and ur friend is on android got into a lobby and ask for any android users. Once someone answers tell ur friend to add them and to join them. It will work but if u are android and u ask for a iOS user and friend adds and joins it will not work.. Only way is that android had to join the other android person
