Reception
In early access reviews, Kerry Brunskill of PC Gamer wrote that "there is no aspect of urban racing that isn't present and celebrated to its fullest here". Luke Reilly of IGN described it as an "infectiously addictive time capsule of a racing game that needs little more than a bit of menu refinement and some major aggression injected". Joe Chivers of GamesRadar+ compared the game to others like Midnight Club, saying that it "genuinely make[s] the old feel new again".
