Real Racing 3 will bid players goodbye after over a decade since its initial launch.
Real Racing 3 has confirmed it will be sunset over the course of the next few months. The game was immediately delisted from the App Store and Google Play following the announcement.
The title will remain playable for those who already have it installed on their devices until March 19, 2026, when its servers will be shut down.
The news surprised many players, as the game has built a passionate community over the years since its initial release in early 2013. Real Racing 3 is widely regarded for delivering a realistic and in-depth motorsport experience, blending high-quality graphics with licensed cars and accurate recreations of real-world tracks.

Dear Racers,
The last twelve years have been a remarkable journey with all of you on Real Racing 3. Unfortunately, we've decided to retire from the race now.

In-app purchases have also been suspended. However, existing currency can still be used until the game’s shutdown. Any unused currency will expire once the servers go offline in March 2026.
As a sign of appreciation for the community, the developers will award all players 1,000 Gold, an Audi S1 e-tron quattro, and a 2023 Rimac Nevera. Additional Gold will be granted to players who already own both vehicles.
No official reason was provided by the developers for why Real Racing 3 is being sunset. However, the most likely explanation is the game’s age. After more than 12 years of updates and ongoing support, maintaining servers and live-service systems becomes increasingly costly and unsustainable. The developers may also be looking to redirect resources toward other projects.
