Indie developers Tea Monster Games and 4 Fun Studio are excited to announce that their title RC Rush will be leaving Steam Early Access for a full launch on Friday January 28th 2022.
 
RC Rush is an exciting arcade racing game featuring radio-controlled trucks. Win races to unlock career events, compete in head-to-head battles to unlock new vehicles, and level up your way to becoming the ultimate RC champion! You can play in VR for the most immersive experience, or non-VR on a regular monitor.
 
Both VR and non-VR players from around the world have been enjoying RC Rush since it first arrived on Early Access last October, and we have a ‘Positive’ rating on Steam thanks to an entire community of positive reviews. Now that it’s been battle-tested by real players, balanced, and tweaked, it’s time for RC Rush to get a fully-fledged Steam release!
 
Since it landed on Early Access last year, we’ve added a whopping amount of new content: 10+ new tracks, more than 20 new vehicles and two new game modes; free roam and grand prix. In total, RC Rush now has over 50 tracks, more than 35 trucks to unlock, 11 different grand prix cup events, 100 campaign mode events and even multiplayer!
 
RC racing in VR is a new thing and, rather than go for all-out simulation, we wanted the game to be accessible to as many people as possible. A common theme in many of the reviews on Steam is just how fun the vehicle physics are and how players think we ‘nailed it’ with the handling. The physics are realistic, staying true to the feel of real-world RC racing, but not too realistic as to present players with a big learning curve.
 
As well as difficulty levels for the A.I. opponents, the game features a fully automatic steering mode for players who only want to play with one button. There is also a steering helper handling mode. Steering helper handling gives just the right amount of help for players to retain vehicle control whilst helping just enough to keep the trucks on track. For die-hards, there’s the Pro handling mode, which disables steering help and allows players to fully control the trucks. It’s the most realistic mode and if you’re driving in this mode, it feels like the real deal!
 
When we first launched into Early Access, we gathered some of the VR community for an online tournament, which served as both a great way to advertise the game and a good way for us to test during the early stages of the game’s multiplayer capability. Following feedback from the tournament, we revised the multiplayer game to be more robust and intuitive.
 
As a two-person team, we’ve worked hard to bring all the excitement and thrills of RC racing to VR without a steep learning curve. We wanted to whisk people away from their houses into some fun fantasy locations where you might not ordinarily be allowed to race RC vehicles. Most of all, we wanted to create an arcade style racing game that feels realistic in VR and, judging by the reaction of our community, we think we’ve achieved those goals.
 
Don’t just take our word for it, reviewers are loving it too!

“I know that sometimes getting into Early Access is risky, but given how polished everything is, how much it offers and its low price, RC Rush could not be more recommended for all lovers of radio-controlled cars, be it using VR or not.” - Desconsolados.com
