Riders Republic is an open-world extreme sports game developed by Ubisoft Annecy. Released in October 2021, the game throws players into a massive multiplayer playground where they can compete in various outdoor sports across a huge, vibrant map inspired by iconic American national parks like Yosemite, Bryce Canyon, Mammoth Mountain, and Zion.

Gameplay

Riders Republic focuses heavily on fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled action. Players can engage in five main sports disciplines:

• Mountain Biking

• Snowboarding

• Skiing

• Wingsuit Flying

• Rocket Wingsuit Flying (jet-powered wingsuit)

The game offers a seamless open world where players can freely roam, race, perform tricks, and take part in massive multiplayer events with up to 64 players on next-gen consoles and PC.

One of the standout features is the “Mass Race” — chaotic, multi-sport races where dozens of players compete across a course that transitions between biking, skiing, and wingsuit flying in real time.

Modes and Progression

Players can participate in a solo career mode or go online for competitive multiplayer. There’s also a strong focus on customization, allowing players to unlock new gear, outfits, and cosmetic upgrades.

Progression is based on earning stars, which unlock new events, gear, and sponsors. Completing tricks, races, and challenges help players level up across different sports.

Visuals and Style

The visual style of Riders Republic is colorful, exaggerated, and fun rather than realistic. The game embraces a light-hearted, extreme sports culture vibe with energetic soundtracks, over-the-top events, and humorous character animations.

Multiplayer & Social Aspects

Riders Republic is designed as a social experience — players encounter hundreds of other riders exploring the world in real time. It has social hubs, emotes, co-op modes, and competitive multiplayer challenges. Players can form crews and participate in team-based events.

Final Thoughts

Riders Republic is perfect for players looking for an arcade-style extreme sports game with a huge open world, lots of sports variety, and a competitive online scene. It doesn’t take itself too seriously — it’s all about fun, speed, and pulling off crazy stunts in a massive outdoor playground.
