Is nicht mehr F2P ab V1.0 und Release in Q4 2025
Rennsport is set to ditch its divisive ‘free-to-play’ pricing model when the game reaches v1.0, it has been revealed today (20th August, 2025).
Although Rennsport is freely available to download on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store currently, its Early Access build features an occasionally baffling pricing model, with extra cars and tracks requiring the purchase of in-game currency (called ‘RENN$’).
Confusingly, so-called ‘Founder’s Packs’, tiered packages with varying levels of content, are the only way to obtain the Nürburgring Nordschleife, with Gold (€19,99), Platinum (€39,99) and Diamond (€69,99) levels offering extra incentives like car purchase credits, platinum and diamond liveries and your name featured on a track.
New boxed editions
The team behind Rennsport has now revealed that this system will be dropped when the game releases concurrently on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in ‘Q4 2025’, with the game retailing as Standard and Deluxe versions, the latter of which includes two DLC packs. The Battlepass element of Rennsport will also be discontinued the day before v1.0 drops.
The Deluxe version also controversially includes the Nurburgring Nordschleife and the Porsche 911 GT3 R rennsport car.
Pre-ordering either edition will grant players the
Ford Mustang GT3 plus an exclusive livery and a 72-hour early game unlock period (the Mustang is currently only available via pre-order).
Those who purchased
Rennsport Founder’s Packs on PC won’t be left empty-handed, as Gold and Platinum backers, plus anyone who has purchased ‘RENN$’, will receive a free Standard Edition of the game. Diamond backers will receive a Deluxe Edition of the game.
Your current RENN$ balance will carry over into v1.0 and can be used to buy cosmetic items. Interestingly, on PC, both editions of
Rennsport will be handled officially as ‘DLC’, muddying the waters slightly.
