- Launch Details, Game Modes and Roadmap - 14 November 2024
VR Racers! We're super excited to watch you jump into an EXO car and hit the track today. Important information in this post will help you get a smooth first experience with the game. 1. Game Modes Explained EXOcars features multiple game modes to suit different racing fans and keep it fresh. Career (aka Asynchronous Multiplayer) In this mode, you race against not some AI opponents, but 'ghosts' of real players who have already completed the track. Opponents are matched to your skill level, ensuring you get a fair and fun challenge. You will race through 9 different biomes to unlock all tracks, earn rewards, and climb the leaderboards. The core value is in replayability: this mode lets you progress organically, honing your skills against increasingly challenging opponents every time you replay a track — without the need to be online every day. And for obvious reasons, car collisions are…
