About This Game

Vern’s racing days are over, but his cars are waiting.

You stumble upon an old two-door parked outside with a note from Vern. He’s left you the keys and a chance to prove yourself. Beat his times to earn your way through his prized collection of rally classics, one car at a time. Each new set of keys brings a different car to master and another note from Vern.

Hardpack Rally is a single-player arcade rally game. Work through the career or chase the top spot in the daily leaderboard race. Slide through woodland bends, judge your braking over mountain crests, and string together a run that beats Vern’s time.

Start with the rear-wheel-drive Dimmer 1990cc.

Earn the keys to the all-wheel-drive Montara 92 hatchback, the powerful rear-wheel-drive Hayai Turbo coupe, and the Atlas Raid, a rugged AWD rally-raid machine built for long distances.

Each car brings a different balance of power and grip to master across point-to-point stages and circuits. Beat Vern’s target time in every event to unlock the next chapter.

Beat the Developer

Vern’s times earn you the keys. The developer’s records give you something tougher to chase.

Take on runs personally driven by Andre Gomes, the game’s developer. Beat every developer record for a car to unlock an exclusive livery and claim your bragging rights.

What's in it

  • Chase your best run. Line up against your own ghost and find the seconds you left behind.

  • Watch it back. Stop for the view. Revisit a run from different camera angles, or frame your car and the surrounding landscape in photo mode.

  • A change of scenery. Drive woodland roads, mountain passes, snowy hills and open desert.

  • Play your way. Drive with a keyboard, Xbox controller or PS5 DualSense controller.

  • An original soundtrack. Rally to music composed by the game’s developer.

No ads or in-game purchases.
