There’s Still Time
While the official release of the game is just days away, there’s still time to test it out and see if this one's for you. The Time-Limited Trial Week actually started last week and will end October 27 at 3:00 a.m. ET. Unlike other free trials, this one gives access to different multiplayer modes which are:
- Mass Races
- Every 30 minutes, new races randomly appear on the map.
- During the Time-Limited Trial Week, it’s going to feature up to three different Mass Races.
- The Mass Races are capped to a maximum of 32 players across all platforms during the event period.
- Tricks Battle
- This mode has players participate in 6v6 matchups in arenas.
- Players need to land as many tricks as possible on different sections of the arena map to capture them and earn points.
- The team with the highest score wins.
- Free-for-All
- Challenge up to 11 opponents and show them how it’s done through a select playlist of events.
- Versus Mode
- Join up with five friends in career events to see who’s the best.
Riders Republic is coming to PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Amazon Luna, and Stadia.
