Free racing simulator RaceRoom looks better — a before-and-after patch comparison

The free racing simulator RaceRoom has received a major update: the “Q3 2025 Update,” a 51 GB download.

The developers say the title has been significantly refreshed. According to the Steam page, the entire lighting engine was reworked — lighting now appears richer and more realistic, reflections have been enhanced and PBR has been introduced. Optimization has also been taken to a new level, which should improve performance.

Beyond the visual upgrades, the update also touches multiplayer. The ranking system has entered a new phase — matchmaking has been adjusted and the interface redesigned.

Alongside the update, three new cars have been added to the racing lineup:

• BMW M Hybrid V8
• Porsche 964
• Lamborghini SC63

RaceRoom remains one of the most actively supported free simulators, delivering a noticeable step forward both visually and in its online capabilities.
