RGX Showdown is an online racing tournament game with fresh tournaments starting every hour. There are several classes (D, C, B, A, S) with hundreds of people (presumably) in each group to race against. The matches are one-on-one and it doesn’t take long to be matched up with a similarly ranked racer since the races last about a minute each. The races are intense as you accumulate nitrous by grazing past traffic and narrowly avoiding collisions. Crashing will set you back a couple of crucial seconds and many races are won by a tenth or even by a hundredth of a second.

They come with a huge array of vehicles to use, expansive open worlds to navigate around, and real world tracks which look so good that we could well have been teleported pit side by the latest technology.
Rival Gears Extreme Showdown - or RGX: Showdown for short - is not one of those games."

RGX Showdown comes from the creative minds of ShortRound Games, a team which contains some of the amazing people behind Burnout and Split/Second, and is published by the late Telltale Games. At its core, the game consists of online “one vs one” futuristic street racing down a busy highway. As you progress through the game, your rank will go up and you’ll earn the ability to race within ‘higher bracket’ matches.
