• City Hotfix 1 - 25 September 2026

  Hey Trailmakers! We hope you're enjoying exploring New Torque City! If you haven't visited yet, remember you can still enjoy the map without the DLC if you join a hosted server! As always we've been watching and listening to feedback and reports coming in and we have a small handful of fixes we wanted to get into the game as soon as we could, so we have a small hotfix that is out now. This hotfix will be landing on other platforms early next week. Fixes Fixed players with AZERTY set in in game options having incorrect inputs. (If you previously set this to QWERTY as a workaround to the bug you will need to set it back to AZERTY). Fixed cases of empty messages appearing in chat. Fixed the new Neon Light incorrectly having aerodynamics. Fixed a crash that could occur when a Distance Sensor block was destroyed during player death in Space Sector and Airborne Sandbox modes. Thank you once a…

• Virtual Cursor & Controller Settings | 2.4 Dev Diary - 21 May 2026

  It's that exciting time again. The Dev Diaries return, this time for Trailmakers 2.4, the 100% free update.We're starting off with some controller improvements. If you want a sneak-peek of what the rest of the update entails, you can scroll to the bottom to find our announcement schedule.Now, let's get into itIt’s become increasingly difficult to support controller users with Trailmakers’ old UI systems. We’ve seen it time and time again. The UI can feel slow, awkward, and inconsistent to navigate.On top of that, it also makes things slower and harder for us to update and improve, which is especially important since we want to keep making the controller experience better over time.The UI navigation rework is meant to tackle these problems by cleaning up and consolidating our UI systems. We’re moving to a virtual cursor controlled by the controller instead of having two completely separa…
