RaceRoom Racing Experience Goes Beta
Lidköping, Sweden, Jan. 22
in the year of our Lord 2013 - SimBin Studios AB and
RaceRoom Entertainment AG have today announced an open beta for
RaceRoom Racing Experience. With a planned launch next week
where the store goes live, anyone can join the beta and begin to
build the game of their dreams.
RaceRoom Racing Experience connects fans of racing around a
game, motorsports portal, and online store combined and
seamlessly built into one platform making it More Than a Game™.
Drivers begin their racing career in the portal and hit the
track with plenty of free-to-play content. Shown in the
promotional video, five free cars will be available to
registered users and with two free tracks available in six
layouts, there’s no shortage of tarmac to race on. Additional
cars, tracks, and game modes will be available for purchase in
the store.
RaceRoom Racing Experience uses a virtual currency called vRP
(Virtual Race Points) which is tied to the Steam Wallet
technology. vRP is then used to complete microtransactions which
instantly unlock desired game content or features.
“We’ve established what we believe is an ethical, fair, and
competitive pricing structure. Users will have the ability to
choose high quality pieces of content which can be purchased to
enhance their racing experience, however every user can enjoy an
authentic and rich racing adventure and remain competitive
without spending a dime.” - Chris Speed, COO - SimBin Studios AB
Individual car model prices range from 199 vRP to 329 vRP which
is approximately 2 - 3,5 EUR. Tracks will generally be running
from 349 vRP to 549 vRP or about 3,5 - 5,5 EUR. Tracks and cars
will also be available from time to time in bundles. New game
modes such as the Get Real package and Apex Hunt will be
available for 99 vRP equaling 1 EUR.
