The green flag drops on September 8!
Desk Top Racer launches free-to-play on Steam on September 8, 2026.
Desk Top Racer is an idle racing management game that turns the bottom of your desktop into a living racetrack. Races run automatically — you make the decisions in the garage.
Build your garage with new cars, equip and upgrade parts, manage your car's Condition, and compete in online championships while watching every race unfold right on your desktop.
We're putting the finishing touches on the game as launch day approaches. If you like what you see, add Desk Top Racer to your wishlist to be notified as soon as it goes live, and follow the page for more news.
See you on the grid September 8!
