We can only hope this rumor holds true, so stay tuned for further updates!
“I work for a small studio under Activision and Microsoft. We were assigned this project months ago. I made a reddit account while using a VPN just to cover my back. I probably shouldn’t be sharing this information given the NDA I had to sign, but here goes nothing. I have attached a few pictures I took with some of the things I’m talking about.”
- CTRNF is planned for release on PC platforms in early 2026.
- While it's uncertain if it will launch on Steam, it will definitely be accessible on Xbox Game Pass for PC users.
- Several new characters are expected to make a debut as a token of gratitude to the loyal fanbase.
- The original Beenox team had no influence on this re-release. We only received their notes and technical information about the code.
- A new track is in the works, which will launch with a grand prix and new characters to unlock, echoing the approach of the original game launch. However, it remains unclear if more than one grand prix will follow.
- The game is set for a full release on PS5, Xbox Series X, and Switch 2 at a price point of $40, rather than being a mere port.
- Cross-platform play will be supported, but PS4, Switch, and Xbox One players will need to upgrade to enjoy it.
