Step into the cockpit. In most motorsport games, you manage the entire team. Here, you are the driver strapped into the car. One seat. One contract. One name on the bodywork. You start as a rookie that nobody rates, and where you finish is entirely up to you. Do you have what it takes to rise through the ranks and become a single-seater World Champion? IN THE COCKPIT: SPLIT-SECOND STRATEGY Every lap tests your racing skills. Will you push your tires to the limit, or manage your pace and defend your position? Box this lap, or risk staying out for two more? When your race engineer comes on the radio while you are braking for Turn 1, the final strategy is always yours. BEYOND THE TRACK: LIVE THE DRIVER RPG Experience the career lifestyle most racing games leave out. Manage your money, grow your fanbase, balance your energy, and keep your focus. Will you attend a sponsor event for extra cash, or take the day off to rest? Sign a lucrative contract, or choose a team that guarantees wins? Show up exhausted to a single-seater race weekend, and the stopwatch will let everyone know. THE REAL RACE WEEKEND Immerse yourself in authentic Grand Prix action: Practice, Qualifying, and Race Day. Compete in a 20-car field, powered by a full simulation engine. Choose to make the calls yourself, or simulate the weekend and watch the action unfold. Either way, every single championship point matters. BUILD YOUR LEGACY: THE LONG GAME Upgrade your driver with 11 unique attributes while carefully managing your budget. Master 24 distinct circuits across the globe. Battle fierce rivals with long memories who won't easily forgive your track moves. Climb the all-time leaderboard to become the ultimate champion. But only if you earn it on the track.

Retro arcade rugby you play with one thumb. Your five players run up the pitch across five lanes. Pass to the lane above or below to get round defenders, then dive over the line to score. You attack, the computer defends, and the other side's possessions are simulated, so a full match takes about five minutes. Easy to learn, with plenty to dig into: 100 nations, world rankings your results really move, a 20-club career and eleven tournaments. IPHONE, IPAD, APPLE TV AND MAC One purchase covers all four, with your save synced between them. On Apple TV you play with the Siri Remote, and on Mac with the keyboard or trackpad. Apple Watch gets its own Endless Runner, free for everyone, passing with the Digital Crown. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY Endless Runner: One sprint, three hearts, and a tougher nation every 100 metres until only the world number one is left. Distance is your score, with a top-200 board kept on your device. Quick Match: Two nations, one short match. Play it as a ranked Test that moves the world rankings, or as a friendly that changes nothing. Hold the button instead of tapping it for a surprise fixture, always away from home. Tournaments: Eleven competitions: the Global Cup, the North and South Nations, and eight more cups. Who qualifies comes from your own world rankings, so a nation you build up can reach a cup it couldn't before. The Global Cup takes the best of each region plus five wildcards, so every continent is always there. Career: Twenty clubs in two divisions, with promotion and relegation. It saves after every match, so a season works fine in short sittings. Before a season starts you can choose standard bonus points or the French system, where the attacking bonus needs three more tries than the other side instead of four in total. MATCH DAY ON TV Big matches open with TV pundits previewing the game and end with a TV interview with your captain. Other career matches get a video podcast: a preview before kickoff or a recap after. After the final whistle your supporters' group chat reacts, and a newspaper covers the round. You can turn each of these off in Settings > Atmosphere. ALSO IN THE GAME • Pixel art, an optional CRT filter and a chiptune soundtrack. • Weather that changes how a match plays. • Anthems and war dances before kickoff. • Your own squad: name your players, choose their looks and earn them stars in Training. • Haptics on iPhone, so you feel the tackles and the scrums. • Two kits for every nation and three for every club. • Crowds that grow or shrink with who is playing and where. Fully playable in English, French and Spanish. FREE AND PRO Free: the Endless Runner, Quick Match friendlies, the first three rounds of a career, and two complete tournaments. One purchase unlocks the rest for good: ranked Tests, every tournament, the full career and save sync across your devices. No subscription. It covers iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac. NO ACCOUNTS, NO ADS, NO TRACKING Nothing to sign up for and no ads. The game sends anonymous gameplay stats with nothing that identifies you, and you can turn them off in Settings > General > Anonymous Stats. Your save stays on your device, and syncs through your own iCloud only if you turn it on.
