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.

Racing Rivals 2.0

    To clarify, its not a "new game" its just the next update version. Since it will be the first under Glu, we decided to call it 2.0

  • HowienHowien Registered Users 166 Posts
    Well that could be good news. So any chance that you this time actuæly have some betatesting going? And there this might be A chance that its actully THOROUGHLY testet. Or can we EXSPECT even more errors this time? now we are at it, did you fire those ignorants that gave the ok to update 1,6,0??? I certaintly aint hoping that its the same morons that have testet this update
  • Zephyr-APZephyr-AP Registered Users 447 Posts
    I'd say... Better 2.0 than 1.8 lol. What do you mean by "World Map"?
  • KaptinBoxxiKaptinBoxxi Registered Users 161 Posts
    I'm half curious on why you left that "and..." there after Google Play and Apple App store. Makes me wonder... either PC version or Windows Mobile (which would be utterly surprising as its deader than a door nail)

    also hope you guys aren't tied into Glu Mobile's in-app purchasings yet. There's countless hacks out there for glu mobile currency in app purchases

    as for your in house beta testing... you guys never seem to attempt the obvious, so i'm just hoping its all good and buttoned up
  • Mseat68Mseat68 Registered Users 40 Posts
    I'm not expecting miracles. I know there will still be bugs. That's expected in every game, but it would be nice to.. Uhh.. You know... Be able to actually play the game on an ipad2.
  • hexxum001hexxum001 Registered Users 3,954 Posts
    I'll reserve any comments for after the update. The last update was a disaster. Here's hoping this one is much better than the last update.
  • Sn1per1968Sn1per1968 Registered Users 21 Posts
    Glad the updates finally almost here, I was told 6 months ago that there were Aussie cars coming in after I did a lot of campaigning to fox and Lutzburg lol, All I want is a Holden but you keep giving us bloody fords lmaao. Thanks for the intel on the pending update mate
  • RumbaarRumbaar Registered Users 307 Posts
    The garage organizer will be welcomed. Interesting to see if in a positive way.
  • RumbaarRumbaar Registered Users 307 Posts
