by Rainier on Aug. 15, 2023 @ 9:50 a.m. PDT

Stampede: Racing Royale is a 60-player free-to-play battle royale kart racer that combines competitive, item-fueled kart racing with the chaos of a battle royale.

Get ready for the wildest racing event in existence! Stampede: Racing Royale is a 60-player free-to-play battle royale kart racer. Combining competitive, item-fueled kart racing with the chaos of a battle royale, Stampede: Racing Royale throws 60 racers onto the same track to find the fastest and most furious drivers across the globe. Join the herd and outrun your opponents in Stampede Races. Deploy destructive weapons to take out the field in Stampede Battles. Survive the chop across three-round eliminators – only one champion will be crowned!

Stampede: Racing Royale is designed to grow and evolve around its community, and player feedback from the upcoming Steam Playtests this summer and Early Access later this year will shape its future. Regular seasons, limited-time events, and other live experiences mean there’s always something new for players to discover – and new cosmetic rewards to unlock to ensure your customized kart and racer stands out from the herd.

 After a quick pit-stop for a new set of tyres, Stampede: Racing Royale is ready for a 2nd round of racing mayhem via another Steam Playtest.

Building on the first Playtest, there will be a wealth of bug fixes based on player feedback. All the same tracks will be returning from the previous Playtest, with new cosmetics added to switch up your style. Further content is planned for the game's Early Access launch later in 2023.

The second Steam Playtest for Stampede: Racing Royale will run from 21-28 August, with full patch notes shared on the game's Steam page.

All players will receive a feedback form during the Playtest to provide their thoughts and suggestions, and highlight any bugs found in this early version of the game. As data is reset between each Playtest, progression and unlocked items will not carry over to future Playtests or Early Access.

Fans should make sure to watch Into the Infinite: A Level Infinite Showcase at Gamescom on 23 August for some exclusive news about the game.

More courses and customisation options are being prepared for the Early Access release later in 2023.

Key Features:

  • Racing Royale: Stampede: Racing Royale pits 60 players against one another across three-round eliminator events, culminating in a high-stakes finale to crown the winner. Rounds include Stampede Races, which offer classic karting action on outrageously inventive circuits against up to 59 other opponents, and Stampede Battles, where competitors are locked in power-up laden arenas to fight their way to victory.  
  • Collect & Customize: Keep racing to unlock new vehicles and endless customization options. Find your favorite kart and make it your own with custom paints and stickers. Dress your character in the finest threads to make sure you and your wheels really stand apart from the herd.
  • Live 24/7: There’s always something to be part of in the world of Stampede. Seasons, Events, Challenges, and much more mean the ways you can race are constantly changing, with new rewards always up for grabs.  
  • Race with Friends: Start or join a party to experience the chaotic action of Stampede: Racing Royale with friends and family.

Stampede: Racing Royale is coming to PC via Steam Early Access in 2023, with console versions to follow at a later time.
