About This Game

Pixel-art drag racing. Every shift counts.

PixelTorque is a 2D drag racing game built around the perfect quarter-mile run. Control the throttle, nail your launch and shift by hand at the right RPM. A tenth of a second decides the race.

Build and tune your street car

  • Manual drag racing – throttle control, launch timing and hand-timed gear shifts. No auto-pilot.

  • Deep car tuning – engine swaps, turbo upgrades and gear-ratio tuning for every race type.

  • Garage and collection – buy, sell and collect street cars, and keep a different build for every challenge.

Story Mode: the underground circuit

Play as Amal, a street racer with something to prove. When a mysterious rival threatens your crew, you take on four racing champions across city streets, industrial zones and neon highways, and uncover the secret that fuels the city's underground racing scene.

Race the world

  • Online PvP – race real players head-to-head with cross-platform multiplayer.

  • Global leaderboards – post your best quarter-mile times and climb the Steam leaderboards.

  • 14 Steam Achievements and Cloud Saves
