heyhey racers,
I hope everyone is safely going through the gears and getting back up to speed for 2025! After a busy year, the Stampede: Racing Royale team is already putting plans in place to keep the momentum up and continue expanding the game.
Updates and content drops are on the agenda for ’25, addressing more community requests, with a sprinkling of surprises too. We’ll be sharing more details on specific updates as more gets locked in – but for now, we wanted to share as much as possible on what we’re working on.
Glimpsing into 2025 for Stampede: Racing Royale
A common talking point within the Stampede community (particularly on Discord, where you should definitely hang out with us) is being able to race with more friends at the same time. Increasing the maximum amount of players in a Party has been a regular request, and this is something we’re excited to bring to the game soon. To help further with finding players, we’re also preparing to re-enable the Suggested Friends option in the Friends menu, after fixing a technical issue. Suggested Friends will show the accounts of players you’ve recently played against, with the option to send them a friend request.
Further options for PC players to optimise the game’s visual settings is also something we’re set to address, with frame rate and v-sync options introduced. Japanese as a language option is planned to be added, alongside at least one new track, which we previewed in December’s Dev Log.
Plus – we’ve been chatting to our players on the topic of creating a method for players to earn Star Chips (the purple in-game currency), to help you grab more items from the Stampede Shop if you wish. Our team are making positive progress on this and we’ll post a detailed breakdown of what we’re adding before it goes live.
‘Tis the Season
A big topic we’re looking to lock down is the conclusion of Season 0 and the beginning of Season 1, which will bring fresh content and rewards. As we mentioned recently, the in-game end timer for Season 0 was shifted out to February 6. A little more work is needed to confirm an exact timing for Season 1’s start, so Season 0 will continue until this is completed. Plenty more is being developed for Stampede: Racing Royale updates, and we’ll continue to keep folks posted!
Look out for more information through the beginning of this year, which we’ll share right here and across our Instagram, TikTok and X channels. Oh, did we mention Discord? That’s the best place to chat with our team and the community on today’s news and anything else. See you on the track!
