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.

    yes known issue. basically to join your friends now you should:

    1)join a loobby
    2) have your friend join u, they'll get sent to a different lobby
    3) back out to your garage and join in on them. you should be in the same lobby


    or

    1) join a lobby and add some random
    2) back out to garage and join new "friend"
    3) your friend should be able to join in on you without being sent a different lobby.

    This is an issue we are working on. Thank you though for sharing the temporary solution you have worked out.

    If you introduce a patch that breaks the game, the proper protocol is to back out the patch. Not leave it in for weeks, unable to fix it, so your customers can't use the application. Your actions would result in termination where I work.
