What's New in RetroRapid

2.0

October 16, 2026

Race a friend with SharePlay on iPhone, iPad, and Mac! Face the same traffic, follow each other’s progress, and go again with a rematch. Friend races are free and never use your daily solo plays. Built for iOS 27 and iPhone Duo. In a partially folded tabletop pose, the road moves above the hinge and the controls sit below. Moving the hinge during a race pauses it; once the device settles, tap Play to continue the same run. Explore LCD and Pocket in the new Styles gallery. LCD is available to everyone; unlock Pocket with Unlimited Plays. Both styles remain free on Apple Watch. A fresh look for your favorite retro racer: we’ve extensively redrawn the artwork, including cars and helmets, while keeping the character of LCD and Pocket. Enjoy smoother gameplay, improved landscape layouts, and refined menus and game-over screens. Now available in German, Dutch, Italian, French for France and Canada, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese for Brazil and Portugal, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Turkish, and Polish. Catching up? Recent updates added Game Center achievements, friend-score markers, and shareable results. Thanks for racing with us!

A good casual game

Surprisingly really authentic for a “Retro Racing Game”. The controls are all simple but clean and don’t have to be clicked twice to work , it’s a really nice casual game to play on the couch that doesn’t get you bored in five minutes. Well done

Super fun and a blast from the past. Nice little game to have when travelling on the tube or the metro

I love this game

I am really a fan of this nice accessible game that I can just pick up and play! Finally, something that also works with the apple watch!

Just one more game… every time 😅

I can’t stop playing. Every round I tell myself “okay, this is the last one” but then I get a little farther than before and I HAVE to try again.

Super addictive, super fun, and way harder to put down than I expected. Definitely recommend if you like chasing high scores and that classic arcade feel.
