About Redout: Enhanced Edition
Redout: Enhanced Edition delivers an uncompromising, high‑speed anti‑gravity racing experience inspired by classic arcade titles. The game blends low‑poly visuals with Unreal Engine 4 lighting to create a dystopian, post‑apocalyptic Earth where racers zip past coastlines, frozen wastelands, and desert plains.
Players can dive into a single‑player career with over a hundred events, join online matches of up to twelve pilots, or strap on a VR headset for an immersive cockpit view. A variety of power‑ups, ship classes, and team playstyles add depth to the relentless pursuit of speed.
01 / THE GUIDE
Physics‑Based Handling
Redout’s floating system and driving models rely on physics, applying unique forces for each turn, slope, brake, and acceleration. The handling feels like controlling a quad‑copter, with magnetic forces influencing ship behavior.
Mastering the basics—steer, strafe, and turbo—allows players to navigate corners without braking, while upgrades and power‑ups further refine control. The game emphasizes feeling the vibrations and landscape as you race at extreme speeds.
- Experiment with steering and strafing combos to find a cornering rhythm that feels natural.
- Observe how upgrades subtly change ship response before committing to a new class.

Career Mode & Events
The single‑player career offers 100+ events across 25 tracks in five locations, plus boss circuits. Players can level up and upgrade their ship while completing diverse event types such as classic races, arena races, and score‑based endurance.
Six racing teams each demand a different driving approach, and four racing classes increase speed progression. This structure provides a steady stream of challenges without repetition.
- Try different teams early to discover which driving approach suits your style.
- Balance event variety to keep skill development steady across race types.

Online Multiplayer
Redout supports online PvP matches for up to twelve players worldwide, letting pilots test their skills against the community. Leaderboards track performance, and Steam achievements reward milestones.
Multiplayer matches run on the same physics-based handling model the game is built around, keeping the high-speed experience consistent whether racing solo or with others.
- Join the official Discord to find active multiplayer sessions and tips from seasoned pilots.
- Focus on consistent lap times rather than risky overtakes when climbing leaderboards.

Immersive VR Support
Optional VR compatibility works with Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and OSVR, providing a cockpit view that highlights 3‑D distances and track apexes. The VR mode enhances perception of speed and spatial awareness.
While VR is not required, it offers a distinct sense of control, allowing players to feel the ship’s motion and track layout more directly than on a flat screen.
- Adjust your VR headset comfortably before long sessions to avoid fatigue.
- Use the cockpit view to practice apex timing, then apply the learned rhythm in non‑VR races.

Power‑Ups and Ship Upgrades
Redout features over ten racing‑focused, upgradable power‑ups such as additional turbo, shields, self‑repair drones, advanced grip, and slipstream enhancers. These can be equipped to improve performance in various event types.
Upgrading ships and selecting power‑ups complements the chosen team’s driving approach, allowing players to tailor their craft for speed, handling, or survivability during intense races.
- Combine grip‑enhancing upgrades with high‑speed tracks to maintain stability.
- Test shield power‑ups in arena races where collisions are more frequent.
