We’ve started using the Steam Beta branch to test upcoming updates before they go live for everyone.

If you’d like to help us out (and get an early look at what’s coming), you can opt into the beta through your Steam library by going to the game’s Properties → Betas tab.

We’ll be using this branch going forward to test future updates, gather feedback, and make sure everything runs smoothly before release.

Our first major update is now available on the beta branch.

This update focuses on localization, alongside a range of quality of life improvements, balance changes, and bug fixes.

If you jump in, we’d especially love for you to try the game in your native language (if supported) and let us know if all letters and signs are in all the correct places.

We’re planning to keep this update in beta for about a week before pushing it to the main branch.

Thanks for helping us shape Sprint City!

Sprint City has been live for over two weeks now, and we’ve already seen some absolute daredevil Runagades setting record times across all Time Trials.

To help you get the most out of the game, we’re diving into all the different ways you can play Sprint City.

When you’re new to Sprint City, the first step is learning how to jump into a challenge.

As you explore the city, you’ll come across kiosks. These unlock as you pass by them. Walk up, hit Enter, and you’ll be able to choose what you want to play.

If you’re playing solo, kiosks give you access to:

• Time Trials: compete for the fastest times on the leaderboards

• Clockout courses (solo): practice routes and optimize before racing others

Want to race real players? Open the main menu with Escape and hit Find a Match to queue up online.

Daily Challenges are dev-made Time Trials with temporary leaderboards, giving everyone a fresh shot at the top spot.

You can access them directly from the main menu, no need to find the kiosk first!

Curious to see how you compare to the rest?
We post the daily leaderboards in our Discord every day. Check it out here: https://discord.com/channels/1407726925614682132/1489215514654801920

Got a party together? Then it’s time for some chaos.

Using kiosks, you can start Clockout races with your friends. If you want a full breakdown of how Clockout works, you can check the rules here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/4191250/view/503974549653553964?l=english

Yep, this is a thing!

There are two ways to play with friends who don’t own Sprint City, both accessible through the main menu:

Use the Invite Guest button to generate a link.
Send it to your friends, and they can join your lobby directly through their browser as a dummy player.

You can play full Clockout sessions together this way.

Create your own challenge by setting a start and finish, then setting a high score.

You can share it by:

• Sending a URL (for friends without the game)

• Sharing a short code (for friends who own the game

Sprint City’s open world is perfect for more experimental modes. Think playground-style games like Tag or even something like football.

We’re already working on adding tools to support these kinds of modes, but we’d also love to hear from you.
