The long awaited Slipstream DLC is finally here!

Don't know what Slipstream is about? It's our answer to the many "please add things to chase" question, and its effin' glorious too!

Slipstream is an optional DLC that brings a new layer of excitement to Liftoff: FPV Drone Racing: - a time trial on Short Circuit, a drag race in Bando City, mining trucks going about their business in The Pit and so much more. All of this for the sweet price of "buy us a coffee".

The Liftoff team is at Gamescom to celebrate the Liftoff franchise and its amazing community. To share the celebration, we have activated a double XP week for Liftoff!

Playing Liftoff will earn you double the amount of XP points in-game to unlock more cosmetic items!
Note: A free Liftoff Pro Account is required to earn XP and unlock gift boxes.


As an additional celebration, we have more news to share during Gamescom:
Between our regular Liftoff updates, the team at LuGus Studios has been working on a new exciting simulator. We will reveal the name and logo of the project next week during Gamescom 2022, but here's a first teaser for our fans!
