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.

    Honestly I think they only compensated certain people, I got a bronze crate twice on an account I don't even use anymore. And on my account that I use I didn't receive anything for the second time.

    that's total B.S. they need to compensate everyone that was turfing.... at least the top 3000 teams should be compensated or their gonna lose a lot of loyal customers over this mess

    lets see if we can get most folks here to stop spending their hard earned cash on this stupid game. all it takes is for the majority of us spenders to stop spending a dime. and they will either fix the issue or close up shop for good

    A bunch of really legit players are quitting because of this but low key they come back with different accounts and start scamming people, I'm pretty sure some of those scammers are Glu and Cie themselves.

    There wasent even one word to the players because of this problem. They just added the Renault and sent an ingame message warning the Charger limited is only avaliable for 4 more days. If they give us anything will be like 40 gems lolololol

    all i know is there's some good folks here that are spending real money to prepare for the turfs and now this crap happens. 40 gems is just not gonna cut it

    they gave the same prizes for 2 days turfing instead of 3. What did you lose? You had less gems to spend, less boost to waste, less races to race to win the same thing. Why do you think you should get a compensation?

    Don't waste your time. I tried doing this months ago and the exact opposite happened. Instead of less people spending, people started spending more than ever. Just give it a rest dude. This isn't a new thing that happened this weekend. Stuff like this has been happening since the game first started. I stopped complaining and trying to get people to stop spending money a long time ago. Now I just take this all in stride. You either deal with it or you move on. Be glad that you even got 40 gems. They didn't have to give anyone anything.

    Its not that easy a lot of teams lost their spots because people have to work and having things to do . so a lot of teams dropped out of top 25 and top 100 .

    There was an announcement on Facebook earlier, everyone with an active account is getting gems. Please try to refrain from making up conspiracy theories before you actually hear from us (most of the time they are nowhere near accurate).

    is about time that we hear from u guys

    @ Sparkle hey just FYI I'm still waiting for some sort of compensation for not being able to play for a month due to an issue with lollipop...no conspiracy theories but I also find it odd my entire team couldn't get on and we were 130 after it crashed first time got back on we were 160 then after the second 190....

    The entire game was down. No one was racing while the servers were down. Some people might have gotten on before you saw the servers were up. OG Smoke, the gems were for the server going down. Did you actually go and look?
  • GooodByeeeGooodByeee Registered Users 524 Posts
    woah really?! when I got on the next day it gave me 200 gems "for the inconvenience of the servers going down" they didn't give you guys anything?! yo that's real messed up

    No crates were given out for this issue. There was a promotion for inactive iOS accounts a while ago.
