Core gameplay features
Day and night cycle:
Players choose when to race. Daytime allows for participation in sanctioned "Speedhunter Showdown" events to earn money for car upgrades, while nighttime offers illegal street races to build reputation.
Dual progression:
Earn money during the day to buy and upgrade cars. Earn reputation at night to unlock higher-tier cars, parts, and events.
Police pursuit:
A corrupt police force patrols the city. Cops are more aggressive at night, creating a risk-reward system where staying out longer increases "heat" and potential earnings but also intensifies police chases.
Customization and progression
Extensive car customization:
Modify both the performance and visual appearance of your vehicles. This includes performance tuning and visual options like body kits, paint, and decals.
Open world:
Explore the vibrant city of Palm City, which includes diverse geography like mountains and open fields.
Story mode:
A narrative unfolds throughout the game, often focused on your interactions with the police task force.
Character creation:
Personalize the look of your in-game character.
