Version 0.9.2 of Metric Racer is out now with a number of updates and news!
Cross Platform Track Sharing
With 0.9.2 players will now be able to share their tracks between any platform that Metric runs on. This means if you create a track on Steam you can share it with your friends playing on Itchio.
Head over to the updated website and check out the currently posted tracks! I’ve migrated the custom tracks that are currently in Steam workshop over. Additional features such as rating and direct downloading will become available in the future,
Steam Workshop Support
Now that the community tracks are cross platform, this does mean that I’ll be sunsetting the Steam Workshop support. This is so that players aren’t segmented or walled off from playing and sharing with players on other platforms.

SEE YOU OUT THERE
Keep a close eye as a new release is just around the bend!
This is a passion project, and I’m grateful for everyone who has played Metric over the years and given feedback! It’s still evolving and growing but is getting closer and closer to my vision every day.
Keep in the loop with everything going on or chat with me over on Discord! Until then, I’ll see you all on the track.
