A New Name: Traffic Racer Open World
Let's start with the headline. From now on, the game is officially called Traffic Racer Open World. It's a name that better fits the direction we've been building toward — the freedom to drive where you want, the open roads, and a world that keeps growing update after update.
Nothing you've earned goes anywhere. If you've been playing Traffic Racer Russian Village, this is the same game with the same garage, the same progress, and a name that finally matches the experience. New players will find us under Traffic Racer Open World on the App Store and Google Play.
New to the series? Our complete guide to the game breaks down the cars, the open-world driving, and what makes it stand out from other mobile car games — a good place to start before you dig into everything new below.
Fresh Summer Environments
The whole world got a seasonal makeover. Environments are now fresh, sunny, and ready for summer — brighter skies, warmer light, and an atmosphere built for long drives. From quiet village back roads to wide-open highways, the same open world you know feels alive in a completely new way. It's the perfect backdrop for the new cars, garages, and locations below — and a great reason to jump back in for a cruise.
8 All-New Cars
The garage just got bigger. This update adds 8 brand-new cars to the lineup — more variety, more character, and more to build toward. From everyday street sedans to wide-body performance builds, every new car is yours to unlock, upgrade, and customize exactly the way you want. Whatever your style — drifting, cruising, or flat-out speed — there's something new waiting in the showroom.
A New Dragon Castle Location in the Open World
Exploration gets a new destination. We've added a new Castle location to the open world — a dragon-crowned fortress perched high on the cliffs above the sea, glowing at sunset. It's a fresh landmark to discover, drive to, and show off in your screenshots and cinematic clips, and one more reason to get off the highway and just explore.

Buyable, Swappable Garage Environments
Your garage is now part of the flex. Garage Environments can be purchased and changed — upgrade your space with new backdrops you can buy and switch anytime. From a cozy Soviet Loft to a Sunset Island hideaway, set the scene that fits your build and show off your cars in the space that suits them best. It's a whole new layer of personalization, on top of the cars themselves.

Deeper Car Customization
This is where 0.5.0 really opens up. We've added a full set of new ways to make every car unmistakably yours:
- Interior Customization — personalize the cabin, not just the exterior
- Wrap Customization — dress the body in exactly the finish you want
- Livery Editor — design your own liveries from scratch, layer by layer
- Smoke Color Customization — pick the color of your tire smoke
- Tire Customization — dial in the look and feel of your wheels
- Action Camera — capture the drive from dramatic new angles
We also added turn signals to all cars — a small touch that adds a lot to the sense of real driving. Between the wraps, liveries, interiors, tire and smoke colors, no two garages have to look the same — this is the deepest car customization the game has ever offered.

Cinematic Studio in Drone Mode
For the creators: Drone Mode now includes a brand-new Cinematic Studio. Record custom camera movements and choreograph your shots like a true producer — set keyframes, tune the FOV and easing, and export smooth cinematic clips of your builds. If you love sharing your cars on TikTok, Reels, or YouTube, this is the tool you've been waiting for.

Realtime Reflections and Camera Control
Two big additions for the way the game looks and feels:
- Realtime Reflections — a new graphics setting for sharper, more lifelike reflections
- Driving Camera Customization — adjust your camera settings and save your own presets for both interior and exterior views, so the drive always looks the way you want
Together, they make every drive look sharper and feel more like your own — whether you prefer a tight cockpit view or a wide chase camera.

Car Classes Are Here — Ranked Races Coming Soon
We've added Car Classes to the game. On their own they help you sort and understand your garage, but they're also the foundation for something bigger: Ranked Races are coming very soon. Classes are how we'll match players fairly and keep online competition fun, so now's the time to tune your builds and pick your favorites. Get ready — and stay tuned.
A Redesigned Car Selection Screen
Finding the right car is faster now. The Car Selection screen has been redesigned with new filters — sort by year, brand, class, and more — so you spend less time scrolling and more time driving. As the garage keeps growing update after update, finding exactly the car you want stays quick and simple.
And Plenty More
On top of all of that, this update is packed with improvements, bug fixes, and performance optimizations across the board — smoother frame rates, quicker load times, and a cleaner experience end to end… and, being honest, probably a few new bugs too. Let us know what you find, and tell us what you'd love to see in the next update.
Thank you so much for the support — it's what keeps this world growing. Have fun out there, and we'll see you on the road.
