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.

    We don't have player's login info. Security of your FB, Google, Apple credentials are the sole responsibility of the account owner. So unfortunately, there isn't much we can do.

    To secure the account, he would need to make sure his FB/Google/Game Center accounts are secure. Unfortunately CS does not have the ability to transfer cars from account to account. Hence it isn't a service they provide.

    @Ryyst Do you know what a hacker can do? , ... when a person gets there whole garage taken away , you guys assume , someone used there login ... I don't believe a persons login is the only way into the account . Do some more researching on your guys side. You guys are the one that need to help us with being secured. If someone else logs into our accounts from MILES away , that's a red alert. I stop playing this game because of seeing how hackers are winning , I had the rarest car in the game which was the TOP 1 Gold top fools Dragster ... and I had to sold in fear of being hacked for it. Thanks a lot.

    We have. We've looked into possible ways of logging in without logging onto FB, GC or GP.

    The only ways to get onto an account is to either...

    A) BE on the device that created the account
    B) The device is logged onto the FB, Google Play or Game Center linked to the racer. The Game checks to see which is logged in.

    Again. We can't secure your FB account. We can't secure your Google Account. We can't secure your Game Center account. We can't secure you phone. We don't have any login information besides your account nicknames. Those are all separate companies.

    Unfortunately we cannot monitor "weird" logins. Nor is it feasible to investigate issues where cars may have lost intentionally. We are limited by our tools and staff. Full investigations take hours which would increase wait times for every one else for issues that are directly in the hands of the account owners which bring us to our policy in logins. The account owner is responsible for its security as we have no direct login system (On par with most mobile games) and the account owner is responsible for all activities on the account. As this game makes it possible to chat with players around the world, we are unable to tell without a doubt that account info hasn't been shared with other player. So we don't, all activity is the responsibility of the account owner.

    We apologize we are unable to do more, however with the limitations we have, the CS department is unable to investigate these matters.
