Real Racing 3 to be delisted after 12 years, servers shutting down in March 2026

• Real Racing 3 to be delisted from digital mobile stores on 18th December, 2025
• Servers shutting down on 19th March, rendering the game unplayable
• Existing currencies can still be used until the server shutdown

After 12 years, Real Racing 3 is reaching the end of the road.

Announced in a heartfelt social media post, the mobile racer is being delisted from the App Store and Google Play today (18^th December). It will then remain playable until 19^th March, 2026.

“The last twelve years have been a remarkable journey with all of you on Real Racing 3. Unfortunately, we’ve decided to retire from the race now,” a statement reads, adding that the decision was “an emotional one.”

From today, in-app purchases will be disabled, preventing players from buying packs with real money. Unspent currencies can still be used until 19^th March, when the servers will be shut down, rendering the game unplayable.

Before then, a final update will add an Audi S1 e-tron quattro, 2023 Rimac Nevera and 1000 Gold points to all players “as a token of appreciation.” Those who already own both cars will receive additional gold points.

Those who have already downloaded the mobile racer can re-download it from the app library until 19^th March.

First released in 2013, Real Racing 3 garnered a reputation for its console-quality graphics on mobiles, asynchronous multiplayer and an expansive roster of licensed cars.

Since then, it has been continually supported with live service updates, with the last patch adding the Audi S1 e-tron quattro and Radical RXC in October this year.

Real Racing 3 was originally developed by EA’s Firemonkeys. Following lay offs at the Australian studio in 2023, it was handed to EA’s Hyderabad studio in India to work on updates.

While a sequel was never formally announced, Real Racing 4 was reportedly in development but cancelled in 2019, according to a 2023 Kotaku Australia report via Eurogamer.
