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?

“RAICER is already very playable and the flight feel is mature. We want to grow maps, drones and the editor together with FPV pilots, because nobody judges flight feel and controls better than people who fly themselves. Early Access gives us that feedback early and often.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About 6 to 12 months.”

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

“We plan more maps and tracks, more parts and options in the drone workshop, more Steam Workshop content, further performance and usability improvements, and polish based on your feedback. What exactly gets added will be shaped by the community.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Fully playable: eight drones plus a workshop for your own builds (with Betaflight "diff all" import), 20 maps, 25 tracks with medals, the Race, Freestyle, Speed, Clean and Nemesis modes, replays, a map and track editor with Steam Workshop, and Steam leaderboards. Interface in English and German. As with any Early Access game there may still be bugs, which we fix continuously.”

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

“No. RAICER costs the same during and after Early Access.”

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

“Through our Discord server and the Steam discussions we collect feedback, bug reports and wishes. New versions go to testers first. Maps and tracks on Steam Workshop show us what pilots want to build and fly.”

About This Game

Flies like your real quad

RAICER computes every drone from its parts: props, motor KV, battery voltage, weight and frame define thrust and handling. On top runs a flight controller modelled on Betaflight 4.5, with PIDs, filters and throttle limit. Set up your rates just like on your real quad – Betaflight, Actual, KISS, Quick or Raceflight – or import them straight from your Betaflight "diff all".

  • Camera angle, field of view and a true fisheye lens, all adjustable
  • Clean, digital or analog video feed – breakup comes from the computed radio signal, even behind walls
  • Radio via USB (joystick mode) or Bluetooth, gamepads work too
  • First-start assistant: set up your radio, test performance, go fly

20 maps, from open fields to lost places

An abandoned discount supermarket, a concrete hall with a light slit, a power plant ruin in the steppe, a radar site in the woods, an oil field in the high desert, a container port, a parking garage at night, a metro station, a vaporwave mall and open fields to build on. Different times of day and skies, and at night floodlights and glowing gates.

Eight drones – or your own

From a 65 mm whoop for tight indoor lines to 5-inch racers and freestylers up to the 7-inch class. In the spec class everyone flies the same setup – fair for the leaderboards.

Or rebuild your real quad: in the workshop you enter motors, props, battery, frame and weight, paste your Betaflight "diff all" or read the header of a Blackbox log. The workshop is laid out like the Betaflight Configurator, so you feel at home right away. Share your builds on Steam Workshop and race them as "Custom build" on the leaderboards.

Racing, freestyle and more

  • Race – start signal, lap times and splits
  • Freestyle – free flight on every map
  • Speed – drop below the minimum speed and your run is over
  • Clean – only a flawless lap counts
  • Nemesis – race your own best lap as a ghost drone
  • 25 included tracks with medals, from slaloms to a precision course
  • Steam leaderboards per track and drone class: best lap and 3-lap race

Build your own world

The map and track editor lets you place gates, flags, obstacles, building parts, lights and props. Cut openings into walls, draw free shapes and assemble your own bando from building kits. Share finished maps and tracks on Steam Workshop with one click – subscribed content shows up right in the game.

Analyse like a real pilot

The last minutes of flight are always recorded. Watch your line coloured by speed from chase, FPV or free camera, with sticks, throttle and lap times on the timeline.

Runs on older PCs too

From high detail down to the "Potato" preset for weaker PCs. The flight physics stay the same on every setting.

Early Access

RAICER is being developed together with the FPV community. Feedback from pilots goes straight into flight feel, maps and editor.
