Promising a realistic racing simulator on mobile, Racing Master is a game to watch out for. Here is everything you need to know, including the release date, pre-registration, and gameplay.
Racing Master is a brand-new racing simulator for mobile platforms. Developed by NetEase Games,this upcoming title promises to bring a previously unseen level of realism to mobile gaming with a full-blown story mode, hundreds of customizable licensed cars, and plenty of real-world tracks for players to take to.
While far from the first mobile racing game, it is certainly one of the most ambitious. First announced in March of 2021, would-be players have been desperate to get their hands on the wheel of this new title.
If you are one of them, you have come to the right place as we break down everything you need to know about Racing Master including the release date, how to gain access to the open beta, and a broad overview of the gameplay.
Racing Master Expected Release Date
Racing Master is expected to be released in March 2024. This was stated by the developers, however, this appears to be a placeholder date, with the team further stating that there is a possibility of this date changing in the future.
The game is currently in a period of regional beta testing, with more tests expected to be held. The most recent test was conducted in the US and concluded on November 28, 2023.
How To Pre-Register For Racing Master
Players can pre-register for Racing Master through the game's official website, where it is as simple as submitting your email address. Once you do so, you will be notified of future beta tests and game updates.
Alternatively, players can pre-download the game by registering through their preferred app store. At the time of writing, this can only be done at the Google Play Store. This feature will be made available for the Apple App Store soon.
Racing Master Offers A Realistic Racing Experience Built Using Unreal Engine
Racing Master is all about creating a realistic racing simulator for mobile devices. With over 100 licensed vehicles, real-world tracks, and an array of offline and online game modes, it wouldn't be remiss to suggest that Racing Master hopes to become the Forza Motorsport or Gran Turismo of mobile platforms.
Confirmed licensed car manufacturers include Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Porsche, and Koenigsegg, with more promised at launch. Players can personalize their car's look with custom paint jobs and decals and their performance with the ability to change parts such as the engine, spoilers, and other key components.
Game modes include an 'AFK' team management mode, story mode, and weekly opens, which will see you competing online to climb the leaderboards. A club system will also allow players to band together to complete challenges and win access to new and exotic cars.
It seems a bit silly to mention the graphics at this late stage, but we need to say something about one of the most graphically impressive mobile games we have ever seen. Developed using Unreal Engine, everything about the game screams 'next-gen.'
The cars are accurately modeled and their polished bodies beautifully reflect the game's various tracks. Those tracks include courses in Japan, Europe, and the United States and range from snaking roads through forests to the complete takeover of modern cities.
It may well be that some players will find their devices struggling, so we will leave the last word to the current system specifications.
Racing Master Minimum System Requirements
The developers have also revealed the minimum system requirements that a mobile device must have to support Racing Master.
That said, the minimum system requirements for mobile are:
- Operating System: Android 7.0
- System on Chip (SoC): Snapdragon 820+ CPU
- Minimum RAM: 4GB
These requirements certainly put it on the higher end for mobile gaming though most devices sold in the last couple of years shouldn't have particular issues.
Fans will also be able to play the game on PC using an HD emulator. To do so, the PC should have a hard disk space of more than 40GB.
It should be said, though, that these are only the system requirements during the testing phase. They could be higher when Racing Master is fully launched.
