New accounts now verify their email address. You get a verification link the moment you sign up, so nobody can register the grid with an address that is not theirs.

You can now choose whether we may email you about the game. Race reminders, daily challenges, championship deadlines and lost records are off unless you ask for them: there is an optional, unticked box on the sign-up form, and the same switch under Email in your profile settings.

Every one of those emails carries an unsubscribe link, plus the one-click unsubscribe button Gmail and other mail apps show at the top of a message. Account emails such as login codes, password resets and address changes always arrive regardless.

A dedicated unsubscribe page that confirms which address you are turning off, and tells you the account emails keep coming.

Emails now carry the ApexMidnight logo and read better across mail apps.

"Someone beat your lap record" mail now respects your email preferences and a quiet period, so a busy circuit no longer floods your inbox. The Rivals board still shows every record change.

Signing in now opens on the email code tab, with the password tab one click away. The code field comes before the send button, and the button explains what it does.

The contact form is now protected by reCAPTCHA, so real messages reach us instead of drowning in spam.

Fixed an accessibility problem in the language switcher for players using a screen reader or keyboard.

Leaderboards are now public: the global rankings by rating, wins and driver level, plus the current lap record on every circuit, are visible without signing in. Signed-in players still get the friends filter and their own standing.

A public achievements page listing every milestone, what it pays in Apexons and XP, and how rare it is across the whole grid.

A public championships page explaining how a series works: rounds, points, the completion bonus and the full pool with each series' circuits.

Head-to-head car comparison pages: two cars of the same class side by side, with the winner of every stat marked and how many drivers actually race each one.

Circuit pages now show the lap-record board for that track, how many races have been run there, the average recorded lap and the car taken to its grid most often.

Car pages now show where a car ranks in the catalogue by Performance Index, class, top speed and handling, how many drivers own one, and links to its comparison pages.

Every racing guide is now fully translated into Italian, Spanish, German and French, not just the menus around it.

The changelog is now public, so anyone can see what has shipped without signing in.

Leaderboards, championships, achievements and the changelog are now reachable from the header and footer menus.

Pages load lighter: the realtime multiplayer code is now fetched only when you actually join a lobby or a race, instead of on every page.

The whole site is now available in French under /fr, alongside English, Italian, Spanish and German. Switch language from the globe menu in the header.

The whole site is now available in German under /de, alongside English, Italian and Spanish. Switch language from the globe menu in the header.

The site now picks your language automatically from your browser the first time you visit, so you land on the right one without hunting for the menu.

Every date and time across the site now reads in your own language and local format.

Credits are now called Apexons everywhere, matching the name used in the shop.

AI drivers race cleaner: better lines, and less bumping into each other on the lap.

Fixed share images failing to generate.

New Checkpoint Rush race type: your timer drains as you drive and tops up each time you complete a lap. Hit zero and you are out.

Pre-race modifiers: mix and match low grip, double weapons, no nitro and a mirrored circuit to shake up the lap.

Hazards: oil slicks and destructible barrels now litter the track, and clipping one costs you grip and pace.

Optional race objectives worth bonus Apexons: bank a big skill score, finish without a crash, or rack up drifts.

Races now go fullscreen on their own when they start.

Your controller now rumbles in more situations on track.

Tooltips across the dashboard, garage and car catalogue explain what each stat, tier and level requirement means.

Bots now bring their own cars to the grid: the field is a proper mix of different cars, and how closely a bot's car matches yours depends on its level.

Bots now play by the same rules as you: they can crash and explode, run out of guzzoline, and be knocked out in Guzzoline mode.

Trees and other trackside objects now have collisions, so you can no longer drive straight through them.

Car wheels now visibly turn as you drive.

Smarter AI drivers that race the track better.

Power-ups on track now change as the race goes on, lap by lap.

Run out of guzzoline and you can no longer keep racing.

When the lobby creator leaves mid-race, the race now ends for everyone.

Tuning and upgrading a car now happens in its own dialog, so the garage stays tidy.

Your cars are now listed in a consistent order on the dashboard and in the shop.

Tighter anti-cheat on lap records and on race results, so impossible times can no longer be banked.

Fixed spectated racers appearing frozen instead of moving around the track.

Finish a race early? You can now spectate the other players still on track instead of just waiting.

Poles now have collisions, so you can no longer drive straight through them.

Homepage cars now link through to their own pages, and their on-page 3D models have more detailed geometry.

You can now only bet against a ghost for up to half of your money.

Guzzoline mode in reverse can no longer be won on an empty tank.

Other players' underglow is now visible to everyone during a race.

Fixed leaderboard calculations on the oval circuit, and dead players are now correctly shown as dead.

Elimination races now validate lap and player counts before starting.

Fixed a 404 when setting players ready in lobbies, spectated cars that appeared frozen, window flickering on buildings, a rematch incorrectly marking everyone ready, and the "invite to lobby" notification not showing on every dashboard page.

We now measure how the game is used with analytics, so we can see what to improve. Analytics cookies are only ever set if you accept them in the cookie banner, and you can change your mind at any time.

Updated our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy to explain the analytics we use and the choices you have.

Light up your ride with underglow, and pick from a wider range of paint colours in the shop, shown on your car both in the garage and out on track.

Nitro can now be upgraded with Apexons, just like your car's other stats.

New upgrade guide walking through how to spend Apexons to make your car faster.

Sort your garage to find the car you want faster.

Car tiles now spell out what each finish and finals tier gives you.

Flash messages are now translated into your language.

Paint finishes: dress your car in new finishes bought with Apexons and show them off in the garage and in-race.

Follow Apex Midnight on our social channels, now shown as icons in the footer, including our new YouTube channel.

Accessibility improvements across the dashboard pages, following WCAG guidelines.

A smoother mobile experience: fixed race and leaderboard layouts, a swipeable image slider, and the menu now closes after you tap a link.

Cars across the site (the shop, your garage, the catalogue and guides) now show their actual in-game 3D model, rendered from the car's own shape and paint, instead of a photo.

New "How to play" page walking through a race step by step, with the full keyboard and gamepad control map, drift and nitro tips, and every race type and modifier explained.

Holding the horn now lights your car up with a pulsing ring on the minimap, and every other racer sees it too, so a honk actually flags where you are.

Player profiles now show your total time driven, summed across every race you have finished.

Twelve new achievements for time behind the wheel, from a 30-minute Shakedown all the way to the 2000-hour Eternal Driver.

AI drivers now read the track ahead and shed speed before a corner instead of barrelling in, so bots hold the racing line and stop running wide off the track.

Tighter anti-cheat on race results: a finishing time is now rejected unless enough real time has actually passed to have driven it, so payouts and podiums can no longer be claimed with an impossibly early finish.

The achievement roster now numbers a full 100. On top of the new endgame milestones (win 500 or 1000 races, finish 1000 races, reach level 100, own 50 or 100 cars, splatter 1000 animals), dozens more tiers fill in every ladder: intermediate win, finish, level, rating, garage and circuit goals, plus deeper drift, pickup, collision, EMP, respawn, wrong-way and per-species hunting targets.

Your garage now has a limited number of slots (you start with 5). Buy more slots with Apexons in the shop when you want room for a bigger collection, with each extra slot costing a little more than the last.

Optional Apexon wagers on ghost challenges: stake Apexons when you race a rival's ghost and win double if you beat their lap, or lose your stake if you fall short. Racing a ghost with no stake works exactly as before.

Rival cars now move far more smoothly in multiplayer: they follow the curve of the racing line through corners instead of cutting across it, dead-reckon cleanly when a packet is late, and glide across any correction rather than snapping.

Rival cars now move far more smoothly in multiplayer: they follow the curve of the racing line through corners instead of cutting across it, dead-reckon cleanly when a packet is late, and glide across any correction rather than snapping.

Hover a driver title to see how it is earned.

A profile now shows "Request sent" or "Wants to be friends" instead of the Add friend button when a request is already pending.

Editorial Guides cluster and broader SEO work.

Nurburgring track, a "wrong way" indicator, a Suggest-a-car dialog, and an animals modifier.

Security fixes and stricter validation rules.

Guzzoline, spectator, and elimination race modes, plus lap records.

Page links in the menu.

In-game notifications are now shared between all players and moved to the bottom-left.

Public car and circuit pages, dynamic sitemap and robots, legal pages, and a cookie-consent banner.

Paint shop and liveries, car affinity / mastery XP, weather and time-of-day per circuit, handicap starts, and new pickup types.

Filament admin panel, admin scripted races, and private / password-protected lobbies.

Car shape now changes dynamically based on stats; homepage and login/register pages redesigned; image compression and a sticky header added.

Renamed Garage to Shop, moved races to their own page, and switched to showing usernames instead of full names.

In-game horn, new circuits, and a queued password-reset mailer.
