Senior year just got a lot more meaningful.

Track Star now features a full college recruitment system — an endgame layer that ties your entire four-year career together. The schools watching you, and what they offer, depends on how you actually performed.

Here's how it works:

Your recruiting score builds up over your career based on your times, placements, and how far you go in the championship meets. When Senior year begins, programs start paying attention. You'll get narrative beats throughout the season that reflect your standing in real time.

Perform well enough and you might hear from a Power Five program with a full scholarship. Fall short and a D2 program calling your coach might be the best phone call you get. Either way, it means something, because you earned it.

At the end of Senior year, you'll receive a set of offers — schools that actually match your career. You pick one, and it becomes part of your athlete's epilogue.

This adds some real stakes to your senior year and gives players something to chase in multiple playthroughs. No two careers will look the same.

This is one of the features I'm most proud of in Track Star. The whole game is about building something over four years, and now there's a finish line that actually reflects the journey. Wishlist the game if this sounds like your thing.
