Vector Unit, today announced Riptide GP: Renegade is now live for Xbox One and Windows 10. Vector Unit previously launched Riptide GP: Renegade on PS4, Steam, and mobile devices. The Xbox One and Windows 10 release is an Xbox Play Anywhere title, which means cross play multiplayer, synced save games, full Xbox Live integration, and single purchase for Xbox One and Windows 10 with pricing set at $9.99. And at the price the game looks darn pretty!
Riptide is one of those titles that managed to feature on every single Android gaming box that were super popular a few years back. I’m not kidding when I saw that at CES 2015 every handful of booths you’d pass in the Asia section had an Android box running a version of some Riptide game. Not really all that relevent here, but I thought it was interesting.
In Riptide GP: Renegade, players race rocket-powered watercraft through futuristic environments while pulling off crazy mid-air stunts, outrunning cops, and boosting their way to the front of the pack. Game modes include the single player Career mode, 8 player online races, ghost racing leaderboard challenges, and 2-6 player split screen local multiplayer (requires separate game controllers).
If you are a fan of the classic JetMotto series then this might be something fun, and the cross-buy is pretty cool to see here. On a side note, why is it that nobody talks about JetMotto anymore? It’s Saturday here at GAMbIT and my brain is a little all over the place thanks to last night.
