This page is for the upgraded version. For the original release, see TrackMania United.
TrackMania United Forever is the upgraded version of TrackMania United. It is a free upgrade for owners of TrackMania United[1] and no longer uses StarForce DRM or any form of disc check. It features all content from TrackMania Nations Forever, and both games can play online together via Stadium environment servers.
While most tracks from previous games can be played, a small number of community-made tracks from previous games are broken in this version due to physics differences.
