Riders Republic invites players to an exhilarating social playground, where they can experience the thrill of extreme sports in an open and densely populated world.

Riders Republic invites players to jump into a lively social playground where they can experience the thrill of outdoor sports in an open and densely populated world. Players roam, compete, and nail crazy moves through an exciting range of sports such as biking, skiing, snowboarding, wingsuiting and rocket wingsuiting. Whether players want to catch some major air with friends or ride solo to dominate the mountains and canyons, there are plenty of exhilarating moments and activities to be discovered.

Riders Republic allows players to ride through some of the most breathtaking landscapes the United States has to offer. Some of the most iconic American national parks such as Bryce Canyon, Yosemite Valley, Sequoia, Zion, Canyonlands, Mammoth Mountain and Grand Teton have been faithfully recreated and imaginatively mashed together to form the ultimate outdoor sports park.

Riders Republic Season 20 is out now, bringing all the delights of fall to the Republic, including a new Scooter Toy, a new collaboration with Spyder, Element, and the Ethic and Envy scooter brands, and more. Plus, Riders Republic is celebrating its fifth anniversary and reaching 17 million lifetime players with special, limited-time events, in-game rewards, and a free weekend.

New Toy: The Scooter

The Scooter Toy is available now, giving you a new way to grind the rails on two wheels. Available as a standalone purchase in the in-game shop or as part of The Ridge Full Send Pack, the Scooter will bring repurposed Skate/BMX events for you to show off your skills. There are a few different looks you can equip on the Scooter:

  • Ethic collab Custom Scooter
  • AOSV6 Complete Scooter Envy collab build
  • The Ridge Full Send Scooter

There are also three Scooter outfits available:

  • The Headliner Full Send outfit
  • Black Heart City Flex Premium outfit (scooter not included)
  • Ethic Vertigo outfit, including a hoodie and cap

Scooter Events

The Scooter Classic Events are live now, a pack of 11 in-game events designed to show off the best of what the scooter has to offer. These career-style events are repurposed skate/BMX events, and you must own the Scooter to participate.

The Scooter User Generated Event (UGE) also starts today. This dev-made UGE challenges you to get the best score within the time limit, and the top leaderboard placements will receive the Golden Ticket Scooter skin.

Branded Collaborations

As part of a new collaboration, you can get a Spyder or an Element branded outfit from the in-game shop.

Additionally, later in the season, you can get the Fasthouse Helix Monaco outfit from the in-game shop.

Players can squad up with or against friends in insane multiplayer modes:

  • Mass Races: The crazier the better in these epic, multisport races with more than 50 players. New races appear randomly on the map, so players will need to get ready to watch their blind spots, protect their position and remain agile with their skills as they fight their way to the finish line.
  • Tricks Battle: Compete in 6v6 matchups and try to land as many tricks as possible on the various modules to earn points. The team with the highest score wins.
  • Free-for-All: Challenge new opponents in 12-player sessions and show them how it's done through a select playlist of exciting events.
  • Versus Mode: Join up with friends and see who's the best.
  • Multiplayer Competition: Made for the top riders to show off and show out, ultimately making it to the top divisions.

As part of their career, riders can make a name for themselves through five different career progressions. As players continue to prove themselves in the Republic, they will sign with legendary sponsors and receive invitations to the most renowned sports competitions, including Red Bull Rampage and the X Games. Players can customize their rider through evolutive progression-based gear and define every aspect of their character. Whether a rider wants to master snowboarding or be the fastest thing on two wheels, everything is possible.

Riders Republic will make the most of next-gen gameplay, displaying more than 50 players on-screen simultaneously along with 4K ultra high definition resolution at 60 frames per second on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. To enhance the multiplayer experience, Riders Republic will support cross-play and cross-generation play, allowing players to connect with friends and other riders on all platforms. Players who purchase Riders Republic on Xbox One or PlayStation 4 can upgrade their game to the next-gen version at no additional cost, while keeping their progression across all platforms with Ubisoft Connect, the ideal destination to connect with friends or participate in in-game events and activities.

Riders Republic is available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
