Ridge Racer Driftopia distils the franchise’s high octane experience to the essential elements of driving, drifting, and destruction, with upgraded visuals that make every spinning wheel or gleaming fender shimmer with life. Players will be challenged to shave seconds off of each other’s lap times as they tear up the streets and punch holes in solid concrete to reveal vital shortcuts. Beat other players’ times to climb the global rankings, level up cars and earn booster cards to get the performance edge over the competition.

Bandai Namco Games announced that Ridge Racer Driftopia’s open beta will be finished in 60 days, and wanted to take this opportunity to thank all its players for their permanent support and dedication! All the feedbacks will be taken into account for the upcoming projects.

By August 15th, servers will be turned off and the game will no longer be in Early Access.
