Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Type For Speed already offers a complete and playable core experience, but it is designed to grow through player feedback.
Early Access allows us to fine-tune balance, race pacing, typing difficulty, and the multiplayer experience based on how real players interact with the game.
Seeing how the community plays and competes is essential for shaping the final version.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan for Type For Speed to remain in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months.
This timeline may change depending on development progress and the scope of feedback received from the community.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“For the full release, we plan to expand the game in several areas, including:

Additional race modes and variations (like Co-op Boss Fight Mode)

More cosmetic options in the garage system

New features to further improve the multiplayer experience

Ongoing balance, performance, and quality-of-life improvements

These are planned goals rather than promises, and the final scope may evolve during development.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version currently includes:

A stable and fully playable core gameplay experience

Competitive multiplayer typing races

A functional garage system with basic customization options

The game is actively being developed, and updates will continue throughout Early Access.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price during Early Access will reflect the current amount of available content.
There may be a small price increase after Early Access as new content and features are added.
Players who join during Early Access will be able to purchase the game at a lower price.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to gather feedback through Steam forums, Discord, and in-game feedback channels.
Community suggestions will help guide balance changes, new feature ideas, and overall improvements.
Type For Speed is intended to grow together with its players throughout development.”

About This Game

YOU DON'T HOLD W. YOU TYPE.

Type For Speed is an arcade racer where your keyboard is the engine. Every correct word pushes your car forward, clean streaks build combos and nitro, and every typo costs you speed. Freeze, and your car freezes with you.

RACE ANYONE

Race bots solo or open a Steam lobby and take on your friends online. Every race is a short, loud sprint: nail the perfect start, ride the slipstream, fire your nitro and fight for the line.

THE ENDLESS HIGHWAY

Traffic ahead, one word on each side. Type the word on the side you want to dodge to. The road never ends and keeps getting faster, near misses pay off, and one crash ends the run. How far can you get?

TYPE IN YOUR OWN LANGUAGE

Play in 10 languages, each with 50 race texts written for it, not translated: English, Turkish, German, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, French, Italian, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Japanese is typed in romaji, Chinese in pinyin and Korean on a standard 2-set keyboard, with a reading guide when you need one.

BUILD YOUR GARAGE

15 cars from 5 makers, each tuned for a typing style: harder acceleration, softer penalties for typos, earlier nitro. Earn cards from every race, crack open crates, stack copies toward gold and diamond finishes, and style every car your way: paint, accents, wheels, rims, neon and nitro flames.


PROVE IT

Climb 50 levels from Rookie to Legend, chase your best WPM, unlock 70 achievements and climb the Steam leaderboards.
