New skill-nerfing Tokyo Xtreme Racer update out now

Tokyo Xtreme Racer's V1.0.2 update is out now, addressing several minor bugs in Genki's arcade racing reboot.

What to expect from Tokyo Xtreme Racer’s complete release

By Ross McGregor

A new update has been released for Tokyo Xtreme Racer, addressing a number of balance and quality-of-life issues.

Released on PC via Steam last month, TXR has gained plaudits for its revival of an old-school career mode featuring a host of exciting JDM-based vehicles and challenging AI opponents.

The V1.0.2 update specifically addresses skills, with early indicators suggesting that the effects of ‘Pioneer’s Secret LV5’, ‘The Key to Victory LV5’, ‘Pride of Speed LV5’ and ‘Pride of Defense LV5’ were too powerful.

As a result, Genki has nerfed the aforementioned skills and addressed a few bugs, including career mode discrepancies and UI issues, with the studio also working on a PlayStation 5 version of the game in the background.

Check out the full V1.0.2 changelog for Tokyo Xtreme Racer below.

Skill

The effects of “Pioneer’s Secret” and “The Key to Victory” were too strong compared to the effects of other skills, so we have reduced their effectiveness.
