Ridge Racer usually breaks ground by being a launch game on … pretty much every platform ever. Now it’s innovating by adopting a new model, free-to-play, and bringing it to a new level of silly nomenclature by calling it “free-2-drift.”
Ridge Racer Driftopia, developed by Ridge Racer Unbounded’s Bugbear Entertainment, is a racing game in which you can buy cars, “repair kits,” and XP packs. Namco previously experimented with a similar business model with Ridge Racer for Vita, which shipped with a small number of cars and courses, and sold the rest as DLC.
