Alongside the start of Season 13, there is a community celebration tied to the franchise’s long history. An anniversary broadcast event is scheduled that provides insights into future plans and additional content highlights.

This event gives players a chance to engage with broader updates and community moments around the game beyond just the ladder reset itself.

  • A complete ladder reset with fresh progression.
  • Renewed leaderboard competition for Season 13.
  • No major gameplay overhauls have been confirmed alongside the reset.
  • Activity surges early in the season as players race to high levels and optimized builds.

The start of Season 13 marks a familiar cycle for players, fresh challenges, renewed goals, and the excitement of racing against others from all over the world.
