Trackmania

What it is

Trackmania is a racing game developed by Nadeo and published by Ubisoft, with free Starter Access. Races span surfaces including asphalt, dirt, grass, wood, plastic, ice and underwater sections, with jumps, loops, wall rides and sharp turns. The game emphasizes controlling speed and drifting while finding a fast line. Players can race player-created tracks: five new Shorts tracks appear each week across five environments, while an Arcade Channel offers online races on creative tracks each hour. Seasonal campaigns and player creations are also described. Track editors include simple and advanced options, with more than 3,000 building blocks and items; a skin editor and replay editor support custom car designs and sharing race videos and images. Leaderboards, medals, trophies and unlockable car skins are included. One-Year Club Access adds full seasonal campaigns, community creations, exclusive activities, premium skins, online rooms, track and event creation, and invitations for other players. The game lists solo, multiplayer, PvP, LAN PvP and split-screen modes, plus cross-platform multiplayer. It is available on Windows.
