It was released on July 1, 2020, for Windows.[1] A remake of TrackMania Nations, it was given the soft reboot title of Trackmania. The base game is free-to-play, with additional content available with a paid subscription model, including an in-game track editor, online events and car customization.[2] The game was also released for consoles and cloud platforms on May 15, 2023.[3]The game has received mixed to positive reviews, with the gameplay being received positively, and its subscription model being criticized.
Trackmania is a soft reboot of the Trackmania series, and by extension, a remake of Trackmania Nations. It features gameplay similar to that of previous titles in the series, in which the player must race from start to finish on a selected track in the quickest time possible, with a heavy emphasis on fast-paced stunts and arcade behaviour.
Trackmania features the return of the "Stadium" environment seen in previous entries, however all previously used blocks and track pieces that were seen in previous games have been removed and replaced entirely by a new set of blocks built from scratch. For example, in addition to standard road and dirt surfaces, a new ice surface was introduced, containing flat and bobsleigh-style blocks. The game also features tools that allows players to create their own custom blocks and objects, which in turn can be uploaded and featured in-game for other players to use in their own creations.[4]
Previous games in the series featured a permanent campaign of 65 tracks, however Trackmania replaces this with a seasonal campaign of 25 tracks, which rotates every three months, alongside a permanent "Training" campaign of 25 tracks which remains available to all players, and players with "Standard" or "Club" subscription access receive retroactive, permanent access to past campaigns, however, the leaderboards in these campaigns are locked and will not have any effect on global leaderboards should a player improve their personal best time on any track in a past campaign.
In addition, a "Track Of The Day" campaign is available to players with "Standard" or "Club" subscription access, which features a track that has been made by the community, and hand-selected by the developers to be featured in-game. The selected track rotates every 24 hours.
Trackmania received an aggregate score of 74/100 on Metacritic.[1]
Benjamin Schmädig of 4Players rated the game 85/100, praising its time trials and track editor.[15]
Alex Santa Maria of IGN rated the game 7/10, saying that it was "addictive" and had a robust amount of content, but criticized its menus as looking "cobbled-together". He also criticized the idea of "gating off access" through a subscription model, saying that it risked hindering the game's long-term community support.[14]
Gianluca Musso of Eurogamer Italia also rated the game 7/10, saying that while it was beautiful and fun, he criticized the fact that it was aimed solely at the hardcore audience.[16]
The game was initially criticized by players due to unstable servers and unoptimized netcode, however these issues have been resolved over time via patches and updates.[17]
