Hey Runagades,
The wait’s over!! The Sprint City demo is live on Steam right NOW!
So yeah, this is your official excuse to ping your run club, start some totally friendly rivalries, and decide who is the fastest once and for all!
What you can do in the demo
We wanted this to feel like a real taste of the game, so here’s what you can jump into:
Explore a section of the shared city and start learning routes
Play Clockout with your friends (time = health, panic = guaranteed)
Grind Time Trials and Daily Challenges
Invite your Steam friends straight to your lobby
Create custom challenges and share a code or send a URL so friends can join instantly, even if they don’t have the game installed yet! (We are very proud of this one).
If you want the full breakdown of Clockout, local hero Gary D. Tour tells you all about it here:
And if you joined the playtest and want to see what changed, check this update blog:
Next Fest plans
Since we’re part of Steam Next Fest, we’re lining up a few fun challenges and events:
Daily Challenge reward
If you complete all daily challenges between Feb 23 and Mar 2, you’ll unlock an exclusive skin for Early Access. You can start a daily challenge from the main menu in game.
Dev livestream: Feb 23 at 19:00 (CET)
We’ll be live showing how we play, sharing tips, and probably messing up each other’s best times on stream. You can join us here on Steam via our store page!
Community tournament: Feb 27
Huge shoutout to Zeadrasil from the SpeedRunners community, who helped us to bring a full-on Sprint City tournament to life!
It’ll be hosted through our Discord, so jump in there if you want to compete. If you’d rather spectate, you can watch the action straight from our Steam Store page on the 27th.
What’s on the line?
Keys to the full game
And the big prize: the tournament winner will get to co-design an in-game skin with one of our artists. Your style and your ideas will permanently be a part of Sprint City!
