Hey Riders!

Thanks to everyone who jumped into the Season 16 survey! Now that we’ve gone through your answers, it’s time to share what we learned and what’s coming next!

How We Build the Survey

Before a survey goes live, we open the floor across the entire Riders Republic team. Anyone can pitch questions, whether it’s quick info for next season’s live content or broader feedback about the game’s future.

We admit it: this time we packed in a lot of questions. The team had plenty they wanted to ask! We’ll try to keep it short for next times.

Once the survey’s ready, we push it through as many channels as possible. Fun fact: the top three sources this time were Steam, in-game, and Instagram. But don’t worry, your answers count equally! After collecting everything, we sit together, break it down, and bring some insights back to you.

Mass Races

Many of you asked for more variety in weekly Mass Race tracks. We’re exploring ways to expand this, but the current playlist system helps us maintain a clear weekly theme. During tournament weeks, for example, the focus is entirely on tournament Mass Races to give everyone as many chances as possible to grab those top-3 rewards.

You also told us you enjoy Mass Race XL and want more versions of it, so starting in Season 17, you’ll see more XL playlists to mix things up. We’re continuing to experiment, too! Shout-out to the Proto Track test from early November!

Don’t worry: weekly rewards won’t depend on Mass Race XL. And during competitive weeks in Season 17, you’ll be able to win a brand-new outfit, perfect for showing off your racing mastery on the snowy slopes.

LAB Improvements

The LAB has been receiving a lot of attention lately, so of course, it’s generated plenty of discussions in this survey!

One recurring concern: event thumbnails. Some of them don’t clearly reflect what the event actually is. We’ll be fixing this by enforcing thumbnails during event creation, so you can better understand what an event offers before jumping in.

Your biggest request, though, was improved snapping, and perfect timing: a new option for the snapping tool arrive with the Season 17 update.

Starting 16 December, you’ll be able to choose whether objects snap to all available points or only the selected one. More precision, more creative freedom!

We also heard your requests for more realistic textures in UGE. We understand the appeal, but high-detail textures can impact performance. For now, ensuring smooth gameplay is essential, as we have plenty of other updates planned before we explore this further.

Season Progression

A lot of you felt seasonal progression takes too long. So in Season 17, we’re halving the number of stars needed to complete the progression track. And the ultimate reward this time? The Goose variant of the Snow Skate!

Scooters and roller skates topped the list of requested new sports. So tell us, which one do you think will roll into the Republic? Stay tuned, because we’ve got plenty to share about what’s coming in Year 5!

Hey Riders,

Hey, riders!

Season 16 of Riders Republic finally brings the long-requested Dirt Bikes!

It also introduces exciting new features to the Park Creator. You can now color your objects!

Before we dive into the details, here's a quick recap:

- Park Creator improvements on October 7th, after maintenance

 - New seasonal content on October 8th

 - Dirt Bike on October 8th

Dirt Bikes have been one of the most requested features since Riders Republic was released, and they are finally just days away from landing in the Republic!

To get it right, we collaborated with KTM to create the KTM 300 EXC. 

But that's not all — we've also partnered with La Bécanerie[www.la-becanerie.com]! The team there has created an incredible skin that won't only be available in-game, but in real life too!

To make it 3 skins, we also have the TR00BLEMAKER, to suit all tastes! It will be available as part of the Year 4 Pass, which includes the Pocketts, and with an exclusive outfit. Or as a standalone purchase for 1,050 RC.

Would you like to try before you buy? We've got you covered, there are plenty of ways to try out the Dirt Bike for free!  Mass Race, Live Events and FFA are regular features. On top of that, if you find a Dirt Bike event in the Activity Panel, you'll be able to try it out without buying the Toy!

Pockett Thunder

The Pockett Car has added a fourth skin to its collection! With the same handling as the other cars, this new addition comes with an exclusive skin for 1,050 RC!

Park Creator Improvements

-          New objects

The possibilities for creating an event are endless! This season, we have added some objects to help you decorate your events, as well as some crazy new types of objects to help you create the most insane racetracks.

-          Speed gates

Until now, the only way to adjust the speed of riders was to use speed blocks. Once the update is released, these will be replaced by the new Speed Gates! Events that already use the blocks will keep them. However, in the editor, only the gates will be available.

-          Color

Do you want your objects to blend in with their environments more? You can now adjust the color and other settings to either make your objects blend in more easily or make them stand out completely! But it's not just about colors! Three other settings have been added to customize the appearance of your events! You can adjust the roughness, shine and metallic appearance of objects.

-          Multi selection

If reading about colors has made you think about all the time you spent changing the colors of the objects at your previous events, don't worry! We've also added the option to select multiple objects and edit them all at once. You can rotate, change the color and duplicate them all!

-          Replay

We know you have been asking for a while to be able to review your run. This is especially useful for those of you who make amazing trick videos! Once you have finished a player-created event, you will be able to watch a replay of it. So you won't miss any angles!

-          And more

We've added a few extra features! For example, it's now easier to track the creators you follow.
It also allows you to take a picture of your event at any time once it has been validated. This gives you more freedom when choosing a thumbnail!
We have also added a brand-new section dedicated to showcasing events organized by the Dev Team. You'll find ten Dirt Bike events created by the Dev Team there. One of these is available to everyone, even if you don’t own a Dirt Bike!

Event in the open world

Another exciting feature of the Event Creator is the ability to make them appear directly in the Republic! There will be no need to enter the event; the props from selected events will appear directly in the open world!

We are already running a contest on Discord, inviting creators to submit their events for the chance to be selected. We're testing this feature with two events, one of which is to promote the Showdown arena. The other is a recreation of a Tony Hawk park by Reddit user murtter. You’ll find it right next to Area 52!

If you would like to submit your park for future seasons, join our Discord server[discord.gg]!

4th Anniversary

We'll also be celebrating the 4th anniversary of Riders Republic during this season!

This year, we're offering some popular Funkies as weekly rewards! If you've been wanting to get the Foam Bike, the Sunkeeper and many others! This week will start from October 22nd, make sure you don't miss out!

Seasonal Content

There are more events to come this season!

Halloween has returned to the Republic! There will be a themed Ridge, as well as a pumpkin hunt!

Protecting the environment has always been important to us. This year, you'll find dedicated events as part of the Green Game Jam!

And, of course, as with every new season, you'll find new seasonal progressions, outfits in the shop and new weekly activities!

Riders Holidays Calendar

To celebrate the end-of-year festivities, we'll start a calendar on December 1st this year! There will be a new surprise to grab every day! We'll announce the daily surprises via multiple channels to ensure you don't miss out!
 Simply connect to Riders Republic once a day to receive your daily present! Once the day is over, so is the reward!

Mass Race XL

You've been asking for more variety in the Mass Race playlists for a while, and we've heard you! It will take us some time to fine-tune the program, but we're testing something new with the Mass Race XL this season!

Previously, the Mass Races featured a leaderboard across three distinct tracks. This time, with the Mass Race XL, we're increasing it to five! Fumbled a race? You have 4 more to get back in the ranks!

The Mass Race XL will run for two weeks during the season. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

And on top of that, the new mass race, Sandstorm Surge, will be available!

As usual, we'll share that week's playlists, as well as those for the weeks ahead. You can find the full calendar below:

Week 1 – October 8 to October 15 – Mass Race XL & Special Dirt Bike

Week 2 – October 15 to October 22 – Classic & Special Pockett

Week 3 – October 22 to October 29 – Special Dirt Bike Tournament

Week 4 – October 29 to November 5 – Special Halloween & Special Halloween Pockett

See you riding a Dirt Bike on the 8th?

Welcome to our Season 15 Community Update! This season brought a ton of exciting additions, from improvements to the Park Creator to the launch of the Pockett Plane and Hovercraft, as well as a bunch of new seasonal content for you to enjoy.

As always, we asked you to share your thoughts through our seasonal survey, and today’s update is all about your feedback: what you loved, what you think could be better, both for the last season and in general.

So without further ado, let’s dive in! (Before season 16 gets here!)

Before we dive into your comments with our survey, we wanted to quickly address our early sneak peek regarding the Dirt Bike coming in Season 16.

Last month, we shared a short teaser of our upcoming Dirt Bike. Many of you noticed that the engine sound in the preview didn’t match the 4-stroke engine design of the bike.

You are absolutely right! It was only a placeholder. The version shown was not representative of the final product. Get ready for an explosion of sound in the Republic!

Here we will cover some of the most discussed topics in our S14 survey, while we cannot provide ETAs and exact details in some answers, we really do appreciate all your feedback, and we aim to provide you with as much clarity as possible at this time!

Increase Mass Race Variety

Many of you mentioned that you would like to see an increase in the mass race variety and for us to add more playlists. We will be doing just that, in S16 we will be try the MR XL, which will have 5 tracks in a single Mass Race event.

Not only this but we will aim to have more playlists per week in the following seasons.

Leaderboards

Some players mentioned that they feel like the seasonal reset makes it feel like the work they have done gets wiped at the end of each season. With that we are discussing ways to change the way we treat leaderboards. We’ll come back to you soon to get your opinion on the topic!.

Increase Object Limit

Many players have mentioned that you'd like to see more object slots available when creating events.
This is something we’re eager to implement as well! However it requires extensive testing on our end before we can roll out such an update. Our goal is to ensure that any changes are stable and accessible across all platforms.

Changing event type during creations & aligning objects

You’ve mentioned wanting the ability to edit event types and use an alignment tool within the Park Creator.

Good news! Both features are already available!

However, we understand that there’s a need for clearer guidance on how to use the Park Creator and all its tools effectively. That’s why our community team will be creating a series of tutorial videos to help you get the most out of the platform and its features.

Rewards for outstanding UGE

We saw mention that players would like to have more incentive to create events in game.

We want to have ways of highlighting players as UGE in-game and we already have one! Players who we believe to be doing awesome work on receive a secretive title “The Architect” But this is just the start, we want to bring many more things to the table but our team needs to decide what those things will be before we provide you with more intel!

An exciting new feature that we will introduce in Season 16 is the ability to display players' creations directly in the open world. You won't even have to enter the event!
To start with, we'll feature the creation of Reddit user murtter: his recreation of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater park, The Hangar, as a tribute to the legendary series!
We're already running a contest on Discord for the following seasons, to give everyone a chance to see their park displayed in the Republic!

Issues with camera angles when creating and player events

Some players have reported that camera angles can be problematic when creating or playing events.

Our team is aware of this issue. We aim to address it as soon as possible!

Multiplayer Options

We’ve heard this not only through our survey but across all platform’s players want the option to play their creations against others in real time.

Our team is currently discussing the possibility of implementing such game modes. While we can’t promise anything just yet, it’s definitely on our radar.

We hope this update has brought you up to speed! Our team is committed to continuing to provide a space where you can share your thoughts and feedback. If you missed the chance to participate in this season’s survey, don’t worry we’ll have another community survey ready for you in the next   season.

Until then… here are a few shots of the Dirt Bike!
