Trail Out arrives on Steam and reshapes arcade racing
Trail Out, a new arcade racing title from the Russian developer team GOOD BOYS, launched on the Steam store with a price tag of 540 rubles, according to VGTimes’ Online edition. The game marks a bold entry into the Steam catalog, bringing fast-paced action to PC players.
Described by its makers as the spiritual successor to the FlatOut series from the early 2000s, Trail Out builds on that legacy with high-speed races on destructible courses and cars. A notable feature retained from FlatOut is a driver’s ability to be ejected from the cabin in a collision, adding a layer of chaos and strategy to each race. The emphasis remains on reckless speed, spectacular crashes, and loud, unapologetic arcade action (VGTimes).
Players can unlock up to 40 different cars across multiple classes and tackle 45 tracks that span a variety of international locales. The game offers more than eight distinct gameplay modes and a story campaign centered on a Russian racer known as Mikhalych, delivering both competitive and narrative experiences for fans of the genre.
Trail Out is built on Unreal Engine, and the title promises local multiplayer support for up to four players in split-screen mode, inviting friends to couch battles. This feature expands the game’s appeal for players who enjoy shared-screen chaos and party play sessions (VGTimes).
Looking ahead, the developers indicated plans to bring Trail Out to additional platforms in 2023, including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox, iOS, and Android, expanding access for gamers beyond PC (VGTimes).
Additional context from related coverage notes that the Russian shooter Atomic Heart in the CIS region has been positioned as an exclusive on VK Play, illustrating how regional distribution deals shape availability for major titles in the market (VGTimes).
