Update 8 is now available bringing the long-awaited multiplayer VR racing to the game. As this is the first multiplayer release, we’re doing it as a beta before the full release of the game.

Multiplayer allows you to create your own rooms and race with friends or other VR players from around the world. Rooms are limited to six players for this release and allow you to race all cars and tracks, even allowing for racing different cars in the same race.

There are new Challenge modes available in multiplayer that add a little bit of spice and fun to the racing including Slalom and Magic Doors. We’ll let you explore those so as not to give too much away.

There are three new tracks (in preview) that are a bit different from the standard racing circuits to date and bring the total number of tracks to 18. We’ve got Airport, Warehouse and Volcano each of which bring something new to the racing.

The addition of multiplayer is the major new feature of this release however we also did some work rebalancing the Valtrus and adjusting the behaviour of the AI to get a bit more excitement to the racing.

As this is a beta release for multiplayer, please let us know if you have any issues or feedback.

Updates:

• Added multiplayer racing (Beta)

• 3 new tracks (Airport, Volcano and Warehouse)

• Added a car horn (the best feature added ever!)

New features:

• AI look ahead behaviour update to provide more realistic behaviour when near other cars.

• Major rebalance to the performance and handling of the Valtrus.

• Adjusted lighting on many of the tracks.

• Added a 3D set to the main menu.

• Updated menu UI design.

There were also a bunch of small bug fixes we did along the way which we hope will improve the performance and quality of the game.

This update is the last one before we move out of Early Access. We’ve got a bunch of new tracks and some new cars to be included in that release which will also include any updates or bug fixes from the multiplayer beta. We’ve set up a beta channel if you’d like to try the current build of the V1.0 version so hit us up in the Discord to get access.

We hope you enjoy this release and as always if there is anything you’d like to see in the game, please let us know via the Community Hub or the Discord server.

Enjoy the racing!
