I’d say the rocket suit is great for getting around but the world is covered in fast travel points. The races are simple and the one stunt course I found didn’t differentiate much from the races. Sounds awesome, right? Well, it’s just okay. It’s a suit with a small jetpack strapped to your back. If you played Steep, you have probably already been introduced to the rocket suit. Even the bike races feel top tier as some of them even had me donning goofy outfits like T-Rex costumes as I plummeted downhill. The bike’s stunt courses are easily the best as they feel extremely imaginative.

These are little courses in the game where players have to reach the finish line before the time runs out. One of the areas where the bike truly shines, are the stunts. I spent a large portion of my trial, just doing things on my bike. The trial begins as you tear down a mountain on a bike and it’s easily what I loved doing most. After doing as much as we could in that time frame, here’s our hands-on impressions of the trial.

The free trial offers up to four hours of time to spend biking, skiing, snowboarding and even flying around a mashed up version of the US’ most iconic national parks.

Riders Republic will release on October 28th on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.Starting on October 21st, Ubisoft opened the doors to it’s brand new, open world extreme sports game Riders Republic. Given the scope of the game, working in the middle of a pandemic, and internal company turmoil, getting to the finish line for this game has been a long time coming. Riders Republic has been delayed numerous times while in development. There is a story mode that will try to aim players towards certain objectives but most of the fun lies in being let loose into the colorful mayhem of various daredevil events set within the large US National Parks recreated for this game. Most of Riders Republic's marketing boasts of its massive downhill races across varying extreme sports disciplines like BMX, Snowboarding, Wingsuits, and more. With all of these modes and early bragging rights at stake, players that wish to sample the game will need to divide their time between all the disciplines to see if they want to buy in when the game goes live. Finally, 'Free for All' is for head to head with 11 other players in a playlist of differing game types to be crowned the best in the lobby. 'Tricks Battle' consists of 6v6 teams where the goal is to do tricks and claim objectives to win. Riders Republic's 'Versus' mode will be where friends of up to 5 players compete in an event head-to-head. This event happens every 30 minutes at randomized parts of the map. Ubisoft will make 4 game modes available for the trial week: 'Mass Race' the one seen in most of the promotions as a large and chaotic downhill race that could contain more than 50 players at a time. Just enough time to wet the chops but not enough to go through all the content. There is a catch though: Players can log on anytime from once Ubisoft opens the online gates on Thursday, October 21st but participants will be capped at 4 hours of playtime. RELATED: Riders Republic Trailer Introduces Characters and Sets Up the Story The Riders Republic Free Trial Week will go all the way up to the official release of the game, and all progress made will carry over after release and purchase.

Opening up to all platforms is the next and final step up that will give Ubisoft the information it needs before launch. In the past, Riders Republic trials were restricted to either invite-only, PC, or new-gen consoles.

It will be holding one last test before the game is officially released later this month and it's open to everyone curious about the game, regardless of platform. Ubisoft has held beta tests and free trial weekends for Riders Republic to stress test the game over the past few months.
