D'oh! We fixed the bug that failed to award achievements.

IMPORTANT: The game should grant you any achievements that were unlocked previously. However, you might have to play and finish a race first -- once you do that, you should be granted any backlogged achievements.

Hi everyone! Long time no see!

The biggest change here is that we added localized language support for:
- Simplified Chinese
- Traditional Chinese
- Japanese
- Korean
- Russian
- Dutch
- Portuguese
- Swedish
- Indonesian

Also a few various bug fixes. And a couple of new decals. That's about it (for now!)

Earlier this year we announced a campaign to fund a Rez plush doll. Well now a new contender has entered the crowd-funding octagon: BeatBot!

[www.makeship.com]Every stitch of this plush has been lovingly designed with the close supervision of the Vector Unit artists to make sure it conforms to the highest standards of robot plushdom. This is your chance to help us make real the dreams of EDM-crazed robot lovers worldwide. We need to sell 200 of these to kick off the campaign, and the clock is ticking!

Head over to Makeship today[www.makeship.com] and secure your very own soft and cuddly robot DJ!

PS. from Matt:
The bonuses for the plush campaign are super mobile-centric: you unlock a skin and gems in BBR2, which are admittedly awesome. But over here you're all Steam players, and that doesn't help you. So I'll make you a deal. When the campaign is funded and you get your final confirmation email from Makeship, send a copy of it with your order number to info@vectorunit.com "Attn: Matt's BeatBot Deal", and I'll personally send you a code for the BBR2:IA Steam DLC of your choice. One code per plush. Deal?

We are excited to announce a first for Beach Buggy Racing: A brand new, limited edition Rez plush toy! We are crowdfunding this toy on Makeship now through April 5.



Several months ago we asked Beach Buggy Racing fans on our Discord Server to find out which character they most wanted to see as a plush toy. Rez won the vote, and we went straight to work with our friends at Makeship to design a toy that perfectly captures Rez's smirky attitude.

Here's how the crowdfunding works:

We need to sell at least 200 copies of the toy for it to go into production. To make the deal even more sweet, we’re offering a special gift — every order of the Rez plush also comes with a code for a Mound of Gems redeemable in Beach Buggy Racing 2 (mobile edition).

Don’t delay, because when the campaign ends on April 5, the chance to buy Rez will zoom off in a cloud of flame.

Changed order of cars in the collection.

This is a pretty minor patch, just fixes some broken links for the DLC. Enjoy!

Hey everyone. Long time no talk. Guess what?


The most highly anticipated, top-secret, frequently asked-for, totally unanticipated update to Beach Buggy Racing 2: Island Adventure is here! BBR2:IA version 2023.08.08 brings a ton of new content and important tuning updates to the core game as well as improvements to the Hot Wheels DLC and two brand new DLC packs (coming soon).


Top of the list of improvements to the Island Adventure base game is the addition of a new character, Commander Nova. Nova is a canine space explorer with a love of adventure and a passion for liver treats. Her Liftoff ability boosts her forward and above the field of competition, opening up new shortcuts on many of the tracks in the game.

In addition, we have two new city-themed racetracks: Octane City and Sun City Strip. Octane City is a towering car-themed metropolis filled with skyscrapers, with a beautiful autumnal park right in the center. Sun City Strip is a neon-lit beach town with wide boulevards perfect for cruising (and street races). Both city tracks feature our new traffic simulator, populating the roads with cars and taxis to avoid or smash.

We also have the addition of two new cars for your racing pleasure — the pumpkin chariot Screamin’ Jack and the sweet-n-speedy Candy Coupe.

Finally, we've added a number of a number of additional features and improvements, including car horns and an advanced Photo Mode for taking incredible screenshots. Just hit the Pause button, compose your perfect shot, and hide the UI for a share-ready masterpiece! (Requires gamepad controller.)


Oh wait, did I say “finally”? There’s more! Steam users will also have the option of two new DLC: the Turbo Titans Car Pack and the High Octane Moto Pack, as well as free improvements to the Hot Wheels Booster Pack.

The Turbo Titans Car Pack injects a powerful shot of adrenaline with a diverse fleet of five incredible vehicles, including an electric supercar, a wasteland hot rod built from an airplane, and a fire truck themed monster truck. Each machine is crafted with a completely unique persona, designed to refresh your game with a variety of new racing experiences and tactics.

The High Octane Moto Pack lets you experience the roar of engines and the rush of wind against your face with high-speed motorcycle racing. Commandeer three unique bikes: a rugged dirt bike, a turbocharged street beast, and a fusion-powered superbike from the future.

But wait, there’s more! We’re adding brand new content to the Hot Wheels Booster Pack! We’ve got two new cars, the twin-tastic Twinduction and Street Wiener, aka the giant hot dog on wheels. Both cars are available unlocked right out of the box. We’ve also added a new Hot Wheels themed racetrack — the space-themed Outer Limit with upside-down tracks and death defying zero-gravity jumps.
