Steam is the first platform to get a taste of our new multiplayer implementation. We realize fragmentation has been a problem, and so we simplified and refined the Online multiplayer menus to make it easier to find people.

Now, when you go into Online you select your boat and are immediately presented with a list of available games. You can refresh the list for updates or create a new match.

Hopefully this will make it easier to find people to play with. Of course, the more people playing online the better, so be sure to tell your friends to get the game :-) !

Hey all! The latest version of Riptide GP: Renegade is now available, and it addresses a few issues that people have requested in the forums.


First and foremost, in response to your feedback, we tweaked the difficulty and added a selector that lets you pick Easy, Normal, or Hard difficulty. If you are updating an existing game, your difficulty will be automatically set to Hard; to change it, go to the Settings screen.

You can change this setting at any time, for instance if you're stuck on a particular level you can switch to easy and then back to Normal.


We switched back to complex controls for keyboard players. Please note if you've customized your keyboard layout you'll have to re-customize your layout.

Also, if you LIKED the simple-stunt feature of the old keyboard layout, you can manually set the Auto-Stunt key by going to the Custom Keyboard controls.


The next step is for us to work to reduce multiplayer fragmentation. We'll announce future plans for that in September.

Thanks for your patience and support of our game!

Riptide GP: Renegade is launching on Steam (and PS4) on July 26, and will be priced at USD $14.99.

Riptide GP: Renegade is the first game of the Riptide GP series to be developed from the ground up for modern consoles and desktop PCs. You’ll definitely notice it in the details!

Our CEO and Creative Director Matt Small says: "With Riptide GP: Renegade, we've cranked up the action to make it more of a classic arcade racer. It still has the speed and dynamic water that players love. But the races are bigger and more explosive, with transforming vehicles, interactive obstacles, and secret shortcuts."

Game modes include the challenging single player Career mode, 8 player online races, asynchronous ghost racing challenges, and split screen local multiplayer. We can't wait for you to play it!
