OI GITS!We can't believe it either, but the PlayStation & XBOX versions of Speed Freeks are finally getting wrapped up for release this spring 🤘The console version development actually started in 2023 and despite some big bumps along the way, they're almost here.Ok, so what?What does this mean for PC players? Well, more players in general, and thus more matches to be found.The biggest complaint we see about the game is the lack of players to play with, so this will be a huge win in that department.The console release will also come with a new WAAAGH!

As we wind down 2025, we as a team have got to say that we're pretty proud of what we've done with Speed Freeks this year.The game launched into 1.0, we added a wild new vehicle, a level editor with workshop, and a new mode for playing custom maps - along with a ton of bug fixes and improvements overall that brought the game up to to a higher level of quality. We're really happy with the current state of the game itself, and hope you gits are too. Just need more players now!

We noticed a nasty crash slipped through the cracks, so that's been fixed now ːsteamthumbsupːOther notes:We're also aware that there's issues with a couple vehicle kits going invisible due to the new code around proximity fading when the camera is close to it. We're looking into why this is happening. In the meantime if you could please use a different kit temporarily, would be great.Steam Deck still has pretty bad performance issues that we're looking into. They seemingly popped up in one of the summertime patches, so we're narrowing down which change could have caused it. Apologies for the i
