In the year 2030, the first flying cars have been invented and the World Federation Racing Championship is preparing for a new era of racing with hybrid cars. To give teams time to adjust to this fundamental transition, the Federation issues a season’s pause. Four of the world’s leading hybrid electric car manufacturers get together and decide to bridge this gap by organizing “Xenon”, a once in a lifetime championship for rookie drivers to help test the new technology with car prototypes running on a combination of electricity and Xenon gas.

The Federation does not approve of this rogue championship and their missing endorsement means that the usual international race tracks cannot be used. Therefore, the gravity defying racing action takes place in the bustling streets of cities worldwide, such as Shanghai in China and Miami in the USA. There are also races at more serene places; the Cote d’Azur in France and Lake Louise in Canada.

A completely free content update has been added to Xenon Racer, which includes a frosty new location and a new racing team. This update is the first in a series of three free content updates. In June, there will be several new customization options added, such as additional rims and liveries, and in July there will be another new location with several tracks and a car model added into the game. Additionally, the Nintendo Switch version has been updated to include a performance and quality mode alongside other improvements to the stability of the game.

Fans of Valve’s award winning IPs Left 4 Dead, Portal and Half-Life will be able to race round the Xenon tracks in cars sporting a dedicated livery. A demo of the game is available for free on Steam and there’s a variety of contests running in both the demo and the full game on Steam to win a SOEDESCO game bundle.

In an era of flying vehicles, a last one-off championship for traditional wheeled vehicles has been organised, with cutting edge electric cars boosted by Xenon gas. Rushing through treacherous turns as bright neon lights flash by, players drift through the futuristic streets of cities like Tokyo and Dubai. Resisting massive G-forces, they’ll have to demand the utmost of technology to race at breakneck speeds in the pursuit of eternal victory.

In Xenon Racer, players can race against the AI in Fast Race and Elimination Mode, and  unlock new cars, parts and maps in the singleplayer Championship. To practice their racing skills and to break personal records, players can hit the tracks by themselves in Time Attack, Checkpoint Attack and Free Mode. There’s also a local split screen mode and an online multiplayer to challenge others to a race.
