About the Game


Donut Riders is an exciting racing and combat game where you customize your favorite donut and send it speeding through chaotic, destructible tracks, open worlds where no race is ever the same, and arenas for epic battles. Collect power-ups, attack, and defend yourself with awesome dual-function weapons. Are you ready to chase down a sweet victory?

Inspired by the greatest franchises of the ’80s and ’90s, Donut Riders pays homage to the golden era of video games. Create your donut and customize it however you want to turn it into a true Ronnie. Over 50 accessories available right from launch! Switch up your Ronnie’s skin, visor, and add unique touches like hair, hats, glasses, axes, and more!

You’re guaranteed non-stop fun and epic showdowns, whether you play solo, with family, or with friends.

• Donut Rush: Feel the freedom of this out-of-the-ordinary open-world race! Gather power-ups before the competition kicks off, jump off track, discover hidden routes, and be the first to reach three random checkpoints as they pop up along the way. Think you’ve mastered a track? Think again!

• Battle Mode: Face off against your friends in trap-filled, obstacle-packed arenas. Attack, defend, and be the last Ronnie standing!

• Minigames: A variety of quick, fun challenges that will test your speed, reflexes, aim, or endurance.

Power-ups are dual-purpose weapons for both offense and defense.

For example, the Nova Cannon fires killer missiles but also lets you boost yourself, escape through the air, or reach far-off zones that give you the edge over everyone else.

Try out Fire Ronnie or Zombie Ronnie, but don’t let the sugary looks of Unicorn Ronnie, Classic Ronnie, or Chef Ronnie fool you—they can all surprise you with a slime attack, a missile, a landmine, or a perfectly timed knockout.

In Donut Riders, revenge is sweet; if you get knocked out of the race, you can come back from beyond to get even. So… are you ready to claim your sweet victory?
