Hello everyone!

Over the past weeks, we've made some difficult design decisions about the future of Speed Legends. Those decisions have pushed the Early Access release back a little, but we believe they've taken the game in the right direction.

Introducing the Upgrade Shop

One of the biggest additions coming to Early Access is the new Upgrade Shop.

Instead of simply moving from one race to the next, victories now reward you with GX, which can be spent on experimental modules and support technologies between events.

The Upgrade Shop isn't about making races easier or guaranteeing victories. Every upgrade is designed to let players shape their own journey by introducing new strategic options, additional support systems, and different ways to prepare for upcoming events.

Every purchase becomes a meaningful decision, adding a layer of progression that simply didn't exist in the demo.

More to Come

The Upgrade Shop is only one part of the new progression experience we're building for Early Access. We'll be sharing more features and development updates as we get closer to launch.

Thank you to everyone who played the demo, added GALACTIC SPEED LEGENDS to their wishlist.

See you in Early Access!
