Redshift

The sun sets while you race three roads, and the taillights ahead leave a wake to draft in.

What it is

golden hour to midnight

A 3D road race over three circuits in one evening: Saltline, a coast road at golden hour; Cinder Pass, a mountain road from sunset into blue hour; and Basin Line, a city ring at midnight in the rain. The race clock moves with your progress, so the sun, the shadows and the sky change while you race, and on Cinder Pass the street lamps and headlights come on mid-race. Seven rivals drive the same four cars you choose from. One Evening is a three-round championship, Quick Race takes any road at any hour, and Time Trial puts you on an empty road with the ghost of your best lap.

How to play

  1. The red light trails behind every car are its wake. Sit 3 to 42 m behind one and within 2 m of its line, above 65 km/h, and your drag falls by up to 38%, most at 3 m dead behind, while the SHIFT meter fills.

  2. Hold Shift to burn SHIFT: 38% more power until the meter runs dry, 3.5 s from full. It fills from drafting, from drifting (the rear sliding past about 9° above 47 km/h, off the grass) and from overtaking a car within a metre at 18 km/h or more over its speed, which adds an eighth of the meter.

  3. Corners that need 45 km/h or more of braking get 300, 200 and 100 boards on the straight before them, counting down to the turn-in, and chevrons line the outside of those taken under about 80 km/h.

  4. On Easy and Normal assists the steering stops where the front tyres grip hardest and stability control catches the rear when it slides, harder on Easy; Off means none of that and no traction control. The Bastion V8 has the most torque of the four cars, 700 N·m, and the least rear grip, so it steps out first with them off.

  5. Rivals drive Gentle, Racing or Flat out, at 90, 95.5 or 100% of their pace, and the gap to you moves their power by 4% at most, either way.

  6. One Evening runs Saltline, Cinder Pass and Basin Line in that order, scored 12-9-7-5-4-3-2-1. You start round one sixth of eight; after that, the better you stand on points, the further back you start: last while you lead. Running a round again takes back its points.

  7. Time Trial is five laps on an empty road against a ghost: your record lap on that circuit, saved whenever you set one, in a race or a trial.

  8. C cycles the chase, far, hood and bumper cameras, and B looks back. R puts you back on the road 4 m behind where you left it, ghosted for 2.5 s so traffic passes through you.

    From the changelog

    What changed

    1. fixed

      Redshift: steering that turns in

      • In Redshift, holding a steering key at speed no longer pushes the nose wide. On Easy and Normal the steering now stops where the front tyres grip hardest, and stability control catches the rear when it starts to slide. Off still leaves all of it to you.
    2. new

      Redshift: choose your own keys

      • Every Redshift control can now go on the keys you want, two keys to an action, in Settings › Controls. The choice stays on the device you set it on.
    3. new

      Redshift: three roads, one evening

      • Redshift opens on the arcade: a 3D road race over three circuits in one evening, a coast road at golden hour, a mountain pass from sunset into blue hour and a city ring at midnight in the rain. The clock runs with your race, so the light goes while you fight for position. Draft in the red wake behind every car, burn SHIFT to surge past, and race seven rivals for the evening’s championship, or the ghost of your best lap in Time Trial.
