RiMS Racing now available via Epic as 1.5 PC update adds new features

The all-new motorcycle simulator with a twist, RiMS Racing, has been updated to version 1.5 on PC for Steam players and it includes several tweaks.

This continues a long line of post-release support for the title by the RaceWard Studio, and this time clarified which controllers, or gamepads, work with the game on PC and removes some prior issues.

Steam Trading Cards are now also supported and online voice chat is now functional – something that was absent until this patch. There’s also a host of fixes for smaller items, and the full changelog is below.

If Steam isn’t your preferred PC gaming store, then RiMS Racing is now also available via the Epic Games Store too. All paid downloadable content and versions up to this point are readily available over there too.

That’s it for this particular round-up of RiMS Racing news, we’ll keep you updated if there are further updates or changes to the console versions.

Note: If after the patch you are still experiencing problems, specifically using the NaconGC100 or the Logitech F710 pad, please use the “Enable Steam Input” option available on RiMS Racing > right click > Properties > Controller tab or setting the switch on the pad to “X”.

It could also happen that some of you might experience issues with the official Xbox Series X controller using Bluetooth due to how the peripheral is connected to Win10 and other factors. In this case, please disconnect all other peripherals and Enable Steam Input as explained above.
