Hey, riders!
The 17th season of Riders Republic will arrive on 17 December. But before we delve into the details, here's a quick recap!
• The Ridge Full Send pack: The first drop of the Ridge Full Send pack is a new skin for the freestyle snowmobile, the Whisplash.
• An improvement to the outfit inventory.
• Some changes to season progression.
• Some Lab Event news
• Seasonal content
• An in-game concert
A brand-new year in the Republic means a fresh calendar packed with gear drops, and this time, we’re switching things up. Instead of the usual “year-on-year” label, our fifth year of content is officially titled the Ridge Full Send Pack!
So, what’s inside? The action kicks off on December 17 with Season 17, featuring a new Freestyle Snowmobile skin: the Whiplash. Season 18 follows up with a whole new toy, the Pockett Dirt Bike, while Season 19 introduces a new Pockett Stunt Car skin. Rounding things out, Season 20 unleashes the long-awaited Scooter. And yes, each drop comes with its own dedicated outfit.
The Ridge Full Send Pack will be available in-game for 2,300 RC, with a 20% launch discount during the first two weeks, bringing the price down to 1,840 RC.
As always, you can also purchase the items individually. The Freestyle Snowmobile Whiplash and its outfit will be available on their own for 950 RC.
The Republic is packed with outfits, and while many of you love creating your own custom combinations, we’re adding a new way to instantly equip a full themed look. Once maintenance ends, you’ll find a new “My Outfit” category in your inventory. With it, you can equip an entire themed outfit with a single button press!
Since Season 16, you've been able to equip a specific piece of an outfit on all careers with a simple input. Thanks to this new feature, you can now easily equip a full outfit on all careers!
We’re updating Season Progression to make it more engaging for everyone! One of the biggest takeaways from our recent seasonal survey was that completing the progression felt too long and grindy, so we’re cutting the required stars in half. To finish the entire Season Progression, you’ll now need just 700 stars.
But that’s not all, we’re also testing a bigger final-tier reward. For this season, the last tier will grant you the Goose variant of the Snowskate, letting you unlock the Snowskate toy for free. And if you later choose to purchase the full pack, you’ll get a discount. Veteran riders won’t miss out either, you’ll receive 50,000 Bucks instead.
This is only the beginning of the changes we’ll bring to Season Progression in the coming updates!
LAB Events
We have plenty of ideas for future LAB events, like multi-lap formats and multiplayer options. But for this season, we’re focusing on behind-the-scenes improvements to make browsing the LAB smoother and more enjoyable. We’ve also improved object snapping. You’ll now find a new option that lets you snap to all points on an object or to a specific point you choose, giving you much more precision when building!
And on top, we will also be spotlighting three community-made events! Just like last season, these events will appear directly in the world. To give each creation the attention it deserves, we’re introducing a rotation system and will announce every event as it becomes available in the open world.

This season, we’re turning the volume way up! We’ve teamed up with French producer & artist Myd to bring you the first-ever in-game concert in a Ubisoft title. Starting 19 December, every player will spawn directly in front of the concert stage in The Deck, and just by joining the area, you’ll unlock exclusive rewards! Stay tuned… something exciting is coming soon!
And because we want as many of you as possible to experience it, the concert will replay every day at 2:00 AM and 5:00 PM UTC from 20 December to 1 January. Get ready to vibe!
And of course, this season is packed with fresh outfits and activities to keep you warm as winter takes over the Republic!
In the Republic, we're always looking for new collaborations with real-life brands. This season, Riders Republic has teamed up with Fasthouse to bring high-energy motocross style to the game.
The Holiday Calendar, which kicked off on 1 December and grants you a new reward every time you log in, is leveling up in a big way, expect bigger rewards, unique surprises, and plenty of festive fun throughout the month.
As many of you requested in the survey, we’re adding more variety to the Mass Race XL playlists. And for the first time ever, we’re introducing a winter variant of the competitive outfits!

Notable bug fix and known issues:
The goggles should now not stretch anymore!
Once a user has opened the creator page from the end of an event and played another event from that creator, they cannot access the Lab menu again. A fix will be available for the next season, but for now, the workaround is to reboot the game.
