Circuit Superstars Early Access V.0.4.0 Released

Last updated on September 7th, 2021 at 04:27 pm

The top-down racer from Original Fire Games continues to progress with Circuit Superstars Early Access V.0.4.0 released. And it’s a fairly sizeable patch, with the new Conquest prototype (which resembles an Audi R8 Le Mans racer), updates to the replay system, three new Grand Prix tournaments, and more.

While new cars are always exciting, the biggest changes you might notice are that all the current choices have been tested and balanced. So you might find various categories feel a bit different and should hopefully offer closer racing. And there is a new event rotation system for online multiplayer, so the races change randomly, rather than on a weekly schedule.

But we do have to admit that the art style of Circuit Superstars does mean that the Conquest looks rather adorable (has that undermined our tough professional sim racing reputation?).
