The game
A combat racer where nothing stays intact
Four racers, closed circuits, live ammunition. Cash flows to whoever finishes first — or wrecks the most on the way there.
The track is a casualty
Every racer's shots crater the road for the rest of the race. Blast holes in the racing line — or drive around the ones aimed at you.
43 rides, four classes
Glass-cannon sports cars, middle-of-the-road sedans, tough SUVs, and monster trucks up to armored haulers with the biggest guns in the game.
Bring three friends
Cross-platform online races for up to 4 humans, with AI rivals filling the grid. Same wifi needs no account at all.
Six worlds
From Suzuka to a molten hellworld
Every planet is its own discipline: different terrain, different hazards, different ways to lose a truck.
Suzuka
SignatureJapan — the legendary figure-8 Grand Prix circuit, driven at full 1:1 scale.
Mercury
EasyThe scorched innermost world — black rock, ancient craters, a criss-cross bridge.
Europa
EasyJupiter's ice moon — a cracked frozen shell over a hidden ocean. Grip is a rumor here.
Mars
MediumThe red planet — rust deserts and big dunes under a butterscotch sky.
Vulcan
HardA molten hellworld — lava rivers under a sky of ash and embers. Touch the lava, lose the truck.
Titan
HardestSaturn's moon — methane rain, ethane lakes, and a floating ribbon of road in the orange haze.
Garage & upgrades
43 rides. One is yours.
Pick your class: fragile rocket-fast sports cars, steady sedans, tough SUVs, or trucks that top out at armored haulers carrying the biggest guns in the game. Then spend your winnings making it worse for everyone else.
- Six upgrade categories: tires, engine, suspension, chassis, exhaust, weapons
- Live spec bars show exactly what each level buys you
- Cash comes from placement and wrecks — drive well or fight dirty
- Per-driver profiles: your money, your upgrades, your garage
The arsenal
Eight ways to ruin someone's lap
Every car carries a cannon, mines, and oil. What else it carries — and how hard it hits — depends on the ride.
Cannon
The dependable workhorse. Arcing shells that land where you aim — and leave a mark.
Machine Gun
A stream of fire that chews armor and asphalt alike. Watch the heat gauge.
Laser
Runs cold, fires forever. Precision for drivers who never miss.
Missile
Big, loud, and unsubtle. For rivals who pulled too far ahead.
Landmines
Drop them behind you. They blow on contact — or on your remote command.
Oil Slick
Pour a slick that turns the corner behind you into an ice rink.
Plasma Cutter
An exotic beam that carves through the field.
Atomic Bomb
Rolls off your rear bumper. Everyone behind you should be somewhere else.
Timed powerups
Crates can hand you a Super Laser, a Super Machine Gun, or Unlimited Nitro — 30 seconds of mayhem, free of charge.
Pickups around every lap
Ammo boxes, first-aid kits, mines, oil barrels — and the occasional atomic bomb for whoever gets there first.
Balance with teeth
Speed is paid for with fragility, toughness with sluggishness. Big damage always comes with a long recharge.
Destructible courses
The racing line is a suggestion — and a target
Every shell that lands digs a real crater into the road. Craters deepen, merge, and finally cave into honest-to-goodness holes that swallow wheels. Fences, rails, rocks, and crystals all break too — nothing bounding the course is safe.
Damage persists for the whole race and every car feels it: less grip, hard bounces, lines that stop existing. On Titan the floating road even regrows behind you — from the edges inward.

FAQ
Questions, answered
What is Planet Racer?
An isometric arcade combat racer in the spirit of the classic 1990s vehicular combat games — original name, art, and tracks. You race armed trucks on six worlds across the solar system, earn cash, upgrade your ride, and climb the planetary ladder. There is a single-player campaign and online races for up to 4 human players.
Which platforms does it run on?
macOS (Apple Silicon) and iOS. Mac and iPhone players can race each other online. The game is in development — no release date has been announced yet.
Does the track really get destroyed?
Yes, for real. Every shell that hits the road digs a crater into the actual racing surface. Keep hammering one spot and the surface caves into a genuine hole you can drop a wheel into. Damage lasts the whole race, and every car — yours and your rivals' — feels it.
How does online play work?
Up to 4 humans race in one session, and AI rivals fill the empty seats. On the same wifi it works with no account at all. Internet races run through Epic Online Services with an Epic sign-in. Cross-platform: Mac and iPhone race in the same lobby.
How big is the garage?
43 vehicles in four classes — monster trucks, sports cars, SUVs, and sedans — each with its own balance of speed, armor, and firepower. Between planets you spend race winnings on tires, engine, suspension, chassis, exhaust, and weapon upgrades.
