The part golfing, part racing title from Hugecalf Studios and Secret Mode titled Turbo Golf Racing is entering its third season as of Monday (17th April). Twisted Space is the name and theme as the arcade sports racer takes on a space theme with new content to go with it.
Season 3 comes with 10 new levels, all dedicated to the twists of space. It also comes alongside two pieces of DLC content in the Tech Jet Supporters Pack ($3.99) and the Space Explorer’s Galactic Ball Set ($1.99).
Leaderboards from Season 1 and Season 2 have been reset, and the move into the third season includes both Casual and Ranked Matchmaking.
The roadmap for the title also gives a quick glimpse into the future of the title, which will include custom lobbies. Two new cores, the Trail Blazer and Off Roader, have been added to the fold as well.
Turbo Golf Racing is available to play now through Steam Early Access and over on the Xbox Game Pass Game Preview. Check out the notes for the new season and coinciding patch below.
