Joy Ride is a free-to-play racing game that puts players’ Avatars behind the wheel, offers rich customization options through micro-transactions to suit every personality, and is fun for people of all skill levels to jump in and share.

Today Xbox LIVE revealed a new stop on the road of “Joy Ride”, transporting your Avatars to an action-packed mountain range with “Perilous Peaks.” This mountainous location will be available for the community to unlock after launch, and part of the evolving world of “Joy Ride” – a revolutionary game experience on Xbox LIVE that will grow and change the more you play.

With an innovative free-to-play business model and cool customizable options, “Joy Ride” makes it easy for gamers of all skill-levels to jump in and join their friends as their Avatars drive, race and trick through an all-new driving world. Everyone from beginners to the hard core will enjoy sharing in the action of “Joy Ride”.


Also unveiled were three new game modes, Trick Showdown, Delivery Dash and Coin Frenzy that will have you playing with friends to earn coins and experience points.

  • Trick Showdown: Take a pit stop at the “Joy Ride” Stunt Park and collect multipliers to win big bonuses for your car stunts and Avatar tricks.
