What's next?

Since 2018, pilots have posted close to 1.5 million high scores across monthly leaderboards for official tracks and all-time leaderboards for community tracks. Over time, a group of elite pilots emerged, constantly challenging each other and grinding tracks to shave off milliseconds for the top spot, sometimes where even a single frame-per-second in system performance made the difference.

To bring an exciting fresh start to the Liftoff online rankings, we're announcing a soft reset of the multiplayer leaderboards. This means we'll archive all scores that have been made up until the point of the release of this update. You'll still be able to check out your previous achievements in the multiplayer leaderboards menu, accessible from the main menu. Apart from providing a fresh start, the leaderboards will also receive a great overhaul. Note: only multiplayer leaderboards will be archived, Liftoff Pro League leaderboards will remain unchanged.

Along with a fresh start, the leaderboards are getting a major overhaul:

  • Simplified menu controls for easier navigation.

  • View the drone setup used for the record

  • See the date when the record was set.

  • Copy the drone setup to your own fleet and try it yourself.

  • Watch a replay of the record-setting run directly.

  • New ruleProof is required, no new high scores will be accepted without a replay.
  • All leaderboards before the update will be archived and will remain accessible in-game.

To better showcase your achievements, your personal best will now appear below your name in multiplayer real-time rankings. When you set a new record, a game-wide message will broadcast your achievement to everyone, making it clear who they’re up against.
