If you love fast cars, NFTs, and P2E gaming, Riot Racers might be the next blockchain-based game you need to try out. Designed with NFT ownership and utility in mind, Riot Racers is a game of strategy where you choose a car and driver and then pick racing strategies to win the game and earn token rewards. You don’t need to own the game’s NFT assets to start out racing, and you can race for free.

How Do I Play Riot Racers?

Riot Racers has two gameplay types: free racing (Racing School) and paid racing. If you own the game’s NFT cars and drivers, you can enter free or paid races at any time. If you don’t own cars and drivers, you can rent them from owners through the Riot Racers website.

Gameplay starts when you choose a race to enter based on the cars you have available to you. To enter a race, you must choose a racetrack class that matches your car’s class, and the levels include Rookie, Rally, Driver, Tracker, Aero, Pro, and Legendary. Keep in mind that game payouts increase the higher the class you race in.

Once you’ve selected a race, you view the race conditions for your race and choose a driver and car followed by a set of racing strategies. Your outcome is determined by a combination of your racing strategy, car choice, and driver selection.

The top three finishers of each race are paid out with the game’s native cryptocurrency token RIOT—an ERC-20 token that powers the Riot Racers ecosystem. Game-won earnings get split 50/30/20 respectively, and rewards are sent to players’ in-game wallets immediately after each race.

How Can I Own Riot Racers Assets?

All elements of the Riot Racers game come in the form of a verifiable NFTs, from cars, drivers and racetrack sections to billboards, mechanic shops, and gas stations. Built on Polygon, the game is decentralized and functions through an open economy, meaning asset owners can trade their NFTs whenever they choose on external marketplaces.

If you want to purchase Riot Racers NFT assets, there are essentially three ways to do so:

1. View what’s available on OpenSea and purchase or make an offer.

2. Watch for new NFT drops on the Riot Racers Marketplace. So far, two generations of collections have been released—the Genesis Collection and the Apollo Collection, along with limited edition NFTs from Riot Racers partnership collaborations.

3. If you own cars or drivers, participate in Spawning (Breeding). Owners of cars or drivers can “spawn” offspring NFT assets by pairing their cars or drivers together and paying a small processing fee. A game-owned car and driver are available for spawning actions if a player only owns a single car or driver.

What Makes Riot Racers Sustainable?

Riot Racers began in 2021 with a vision: Build an exciting P2E car racing game where players can own parts of the game and earn token rewards by racing. From this vision, the game’s native cryptocurrency token RIOT was created. Also from this vision, the first generation of Riot Racers NFT assets—the Genesis Collection—was dropped and sold to the public.

In early 2022, Riot Racers launched paid racing and began dropping a second generation of NFT assets called the Apollo Collection. Due to the game’s popularity and success, Riot Racers announced and released two important new game features, Rentals and Spawning (Breeding), to bring more participants to the game and to incentivize NFT owners wishing to earn more token rewards.

As of May 2022, Riot Racers gameplay completions passed 1 million between paid and free races. Demand for cars and drivers continues to climb, and with the game’s team earning amazing feedback in the P2E world, racing rosters are growing daily. Considering the number of incentives, giveaways, and opportunities to participate in the game’s ecosystem, Riot Racers is expected to keep climbing the charts in the metaverse.
