Ridge Racer Driftopia is the first ever free-to-play game based on the legendary franchise, and puts the series’ signature drifting and arcade handling right at the heart of the experience with upgraded visuals that make every dust mote and gleaming fender shimmer with life.
In the game you will be challenged to shave seconds off each other’s times as they tear up the streets and punch holes in solid concrete to reveal vital shortcuts. Beat other players’ times to climb the global rankings, level up cars and earn booster cards to get that racing edge over the competition.
Sign up to have a chance to be one of the first players to get a glimpse of the drifting experience offered by Ridge Racer Driftopia and contribute to the game’s optimization by providing valuable feedback.
Namco have released the following stement regarding Ridge Racer Driftopia.
VVV: "Its life was ultimately shortlived, however: after an extended closed beta on PC and PS3 since September 2013, Namco has applied the brakes on the project, announcing that the servers will be shut down by August 15th. "
We are in need of a proper Ridge Racer... I must admit, I really enjoyed Unbounded.
I could accept this ridge racer if it was less destructive! all that tearing through
buildings and blowing stuff up, not my cup of tea.
Bring the original game back namco, i dying to play another ridge racer!

"This PSN Weekly sees the release of SoulCalibur II HD Online, a high definition remake of an older game in the series. Also out this week is the highly anticipated Tearaway, which I know a number of people have been looking forward to for a while now. Let’s get stuck into it, shall we?"
