'Circuit Superstars' Coming to PS4 Next Month, Nintendo Switch In Q2 0222

Circuit Superstars combines arcade-style racing with a more realistic driving model that enables new players to jump in and race, but sets a high skill ceiling for serious players looking to set the fastest laps possible.

Circuit Superstars will feature a range of on- and off-road racing categories – from rally, GT, classic cars and even trucks – all in a unique and gorgeous visual style.

Circuit Superstars celebrates generations of multi-disciplinary motorsport, focusing on driving that FEELS great – but with a high skill ceiling that will have you spending hours honing your perfect lap, ready to take on the world!

Starting out is simple – as a top-down racing game should be - but learning the nuances of each car’s handling, and finding the best racing line through each corner of each track will be a challenge for a long time to come. Not only that, but with the option of fuel usage, tire degradation and racing damage, even a good pit stop strategy could make the difference between hero and zero.

As ardent fans of classic top-down racers our goal is to take that core concept, add more depth through tactile vehicle traction – and modernise the whole experience with features like online multiplayer and leaderboards, ghosts, replays, plus regular content drops such as new cars and tracks post-release.

PS4 racers will have the opportunity to cross-play with their friends playing on PC (via Steam) or Xbox and will have access to the garage of their dreams, packed with 12 vehicles ready to compete on any of the 19 different tracks available, set in 13 vibrant locations.

Players can also enjoy a range of customisable liveries for both driver and cars, in addition to helmets and victory celebrations which can be unlocked by levelling up. There’s a racing style for everyone, with multiple motorsport disciplines represented in the game including Rallycross, Open Wheel Single-Seaters, Trucks, GT racing and plenty more free content to come in the future!

Key Features:

  • FEEL the tires meet the road: Over 5 years in development, Circuit Superstar’s tactile handling model is our pride and joy that lets you FEEL the tires bite into the asphalt.
  • Celebrating Motorsport: Races vehicles across multiple motorport disciplines including Rallycross, SuperTrucks, GT racing, Eurotrucks, Open wheel single seaters and many more.
  • Pit Stop Strategies: Featuring (optional) tire degradation, fuel consumption, and engine wear; Circuit Superstars allows you to dynamically choose your pit stop strategy during the race. Will you try to undercut the opposition, match the “optimal” strat, or go easy on your car and have a long first stint? The choice is yours.
  • Online Multiplayer: Dive into specially curated online multiplayer races against up to 11 other people from around the globe.
  • Weekly Time Trials: Every hundredth of a second counts! Challenge your friends and the rest of the world in regularly updated Time Trials events.
  • Arcade Tournaments: Jump into 6 single player tournaments split between Rally & GP events.
  • Free Play Mode: Lets you completely configure your own offline single races and tournaments.
  • The Garage: Customize your cars and driver with liveries, helmets and victory celebrations you unlock as you level up!
  • Ready Your Engines!: 8 Vehicles to choose from, each with their own unique handling models.
  • I Ain’t Afraid of No Ghost:

  • Location Location Location:
    7 tracks to choose from, with alternate routes available. Reverse races coming very soon!
  • Race Replays: Replays let you re-watch your races to see your epic overtakes or study your racing lines.
