RACE START MINI-GAME UPDATE
The race start mini-game is getting an update in Season 8. Currently, players receive a speed boost from successfully completing the speedometer mini-game at the start of a race. Players will still receive this speed boost in Season 8 but a brand-new element will now be added.
Players who successfully complete the speedometer mini-game will now also receive a brief period of invulnerability to help them separate themselves from the pack!
REGULATED MULTIPLAYER
We have adjusted the progression system in Regulated Multiplayer so that it takes roughly 50% less races to earn the rewards each week. The rewards will stay the same as they were in Season 7.
UI IMPROVEMENTS
RACER PROFILE
The Racer Profile menu has been simplified, making it easier to access various key elements such as Crew or customization.
RACER COLLECTION FILTER
It’s now possible to sort your Racers by Collection, making it easier to access all Racers under a specific Collection.
SKILL DESCRIPTIONS
We have updated the Skill Description menu to better highlight how each activation of a Common or Unique Skill works.
MAIN MENU
The Main Menu has been updated further to take new features such as Team Mode into account, as well as providing more direct access to key features such as Missions. Players can now invite friends directly from the main menu by pressing one of the “+” buttons.

TEAM/SOLO MODE will determine if you queue as a single player or as a team in Ranked Race.
