Trackmania hits consoles in early 2023: Everything you need to know

The free-to-play Trackmania reboot has been on PC since 2020, but will be available for PlayStation, Xbox, Stadia and Luna players, with cross-platform functions, soon.

The current Trackmania hits consoles in early 2023

Free-to-play vehicle-based competitive platform Trackmania will be arriving on current PlayStation and Xbox consoles in early 2023.

Initially launched in 2020, the current title is a reboot for the lauded driving series, which sees you driving cars with pinpoint accuracy across short tracks that ramp up in difficulty and include online leaderboards.

It also features a strong community component, with a loyal following, thanks in part to the Trackmania Grand League World Cup esports competition and several independent organisations.

Ubisoft+ game subscription service coming to Xbox

Developed by Ubisoft Nadeo in Paris, France, over 280,000 tracks have been created by the community so far, and all will be accessible to console players when those versions launch.

In 2021, a Royal Mode was added, reminiscent of Fall Guys but in cars. In April, the 2022 Spring Campaign added 25 new maps, 100 new medals and more than 130 new blocks.

It follows Trackmania Turbo, which was the last game in the franchise to launch on consoles when it was released in 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Trackmania console platforms

Trackmania will launch for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S alongside the existing PC options

Cloud services

Trackmania will also launch on Google Stadia and Amazon Luna at the same time as consoles.

Free to play with optional subscriptions

Anyone with a PC can download and play Trackmania for free via the Ubisoft and Epic Games stores. The same will be true of the console and cloud service versions.

However, two levels of paid subscription are available:

  • Standard Access – Daily selection and club solos, live events and club room, create tracks (and test online)
  • Club Access – Join and play public or private clubs, create your own club, car skin customisation

Simply, on the free tier, events such as the Cup of the Day are not available, and then Club Access allows the creation of private clubs and competitions.

Free players still access the seasonal campaigns, arriving every three months.

Cross-platform play

Mercifully, these new versions of Trackmania will include cross-platform play with each other and existing PC players. Progression is also transferable across devices, and the console editions with feature racing content parity with the PC version.
