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.

@Ryyst @DownShift @Foxx Can any of you guys explain why despite the cars and graphics having improvement the FPS and overall gameplay pretty much stayed the same. Like I 110% understand you guys worked pretty dang hard to get this update out and believe me, we all for the most part notice the improvement. But I thought this update would improve performance. So, of course, I'll just sit tight. Or give this 2 more weeks......

    @Foxx Every single part of the game the players can access or mess around with, it lags. From the garage, to races, to menus. It lags. The Shipyard is a whole other level of Lag I don't wanna even get into.

    Lagging her as well on iPad. Lags when deleting team invites (used to freeze, so this is a step in the right direction), lags during races, especially at the start. Have not done much else. Played the game three times since 6.0 release including the new update.

    Used to play daily.

    I'll give it another week or so and try again. In the meantime, started up my ps 3 and purchased a PS4.
