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.

How do you expect the game to be exciting if you race the same handful of guys every week.

After three weeks I have burned that server to the ground.

Why can't this be fixed? How hard could it possibly be to take the geo tag off our igns so we can refresh across the game.

I've myself made over 400 igns over the past three years to confront this issue.

400 igns. Just me

Looks like that 10m download numbers on play store is inflated and a lie. .04% of your Google downloads was me alone.

Yet another thing slowly dragging our beloved game in the dirt.

    @dwdtuning totally agree. I've been racing the same guys forever.. refreshing lobby should actually refresh lobby. Not just take you to 1 other Libby. (If I can get it to switch at all)..

    The "other lobby" is just overflow lobby. Still same server

    This is one of the things I've brought up with Carbonated so it will definitely will be looked into and addressed once things have settled.
