Hello Racers!
We’re excited to roll out our latest update—now live on Steam! Last Thursday we launched on Quest 3, and new players have been tearing it up in multiplayer all weekend. Here’s what’s new:
Cross-Play with Meta Quest
Full cross-play support for online leaderboards, ghosts, and multiplayer.
Challenge a larger pool of racers or just hang out in shared lobbies.
As we are moving to cross platform, for compatibility reasons, you will have a new profile when launching the game and start fresh with the progression
Enhanced Multiplayer Experience
See other players in the multiplayer lobby and gesture at each other.
Easier entry into multiplayer: get notified whenever there’s action going on.
Temporary “mini-championship” leaderboards track your scores during each session.
bHaptics Suit Integration
Full support for bHaptics suits for a deeper haptic experience.
Enter our V-Racer bHaptics Giveaway for a chance to win your own suit!
Long-Term Multi-Platform Support
We’ve overhauled much of our codebase to keep PCVR, Quest, and the upcoming PSVR2 versions in sync.
PCVR now runs on OpenXR for broader headset compatibility—plus a new controller calibration tool to support even more devices out of the box.
Quality-of-Life Upgrades
Redesigned lobby with dedicated rooms for the Garage and Progression, plus a new Showroom for in-game photos.
Streamlined onboarding and progression systems.
Introducing our beta Replay Editor—easily clip and share highlights from your best races.
Hoverbikes
Each hoverbike now boasts its own distinct handling profile.
Introduced a brand-new bike L-04 Lockstar ( Rookie Series)
Track
The Neopolis circuit has been completely overhauled to showcase the city’s towering skyline.
A few more things
XBOX controller support has caused problems in the past. In this version we moved to using thumbsticks if you don’t like leaning
If you prefer the older version for some reason, we are keeping it live on the beta channel, but it will not be maintained in the future. You will keep your older profile with your progression and skins
Discord is where it’s at if you want to meet other players: https://discord.gg/e8vqws8
What’s Next?
PCVR and Quest will continue to receive simultaneous updates.
A content and graphics upgrade is coming alongside the PSVR2 launch later this year—stay tuned!
Thank you for your ongoing support over the years. Strap on your helmet and get ready—the race goes on!
