Turbo Sliders Unlimited is a spiritual successor of many classic top-down racing games, but in 3D and with modern online features and extensive customization and modding possibilities. It goes far beyond being just a racing game – it is a community driven platform where anyone can create their own levels, vehicles and game modes. It can be played as a serious esports game or as a fun casual game. It can be played alone, as online multiplayer or as local multiplayer.
The game is already fully playable with most main features implemented, but many new features are still to be added and old ones polished. Feel free to join the Discord server to stay up to date with the news and affect development by communicating with the developers!
