Lesquin, September the 23^rd, 2024 – After more than a decade of anticipation by fans, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is already registering almost 100,000 active players every day worldwide since its released on all platforms on September 12.

Despite the initial technical difficulties, notably linked to server management in the face of the massive influx of players, the community quickly rallied around the game, demonstrating its strong commitment. This success is also reflected in physical sales, which place Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown in the Top 5 best-selling titles in the countries where it is distributed.

Since launch, the development team at Kylotonn studio has been making continuous efforts to improve and stabilize the network infrastructure. A major quality of life patch will be deployed at the end of September, resolving the latest technical issues and optimizing the game experience, based on the invaluable feedback received from the community since launch.

The ambition for Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown remains clear: to reaffirm its position as the benchmark for racing MMOs and offer a unique experience for car enthusiasts. In addition to ongoing technical optimizations, NACON and Kylotonn have already announced a rich schedule of updates for the first year, including the long-awaited return to the island of Ibiza in December, offering players a new playground just three months after release.

New game modes will also be introduced throughout the year, including a casino scheduled for June 2025, allowing players to challenge themselves to poker and other games.
