Dundee, Scotland – 13 March 2025: Get ready to ruin even more friendships! A free update has arrived for multiplayer DIY party racer Make Way, introducing a wide range of additions and improvements, including a much-requested feature: more racers! 

Players can now face off against five of their friends and rivals in local* and fully cross-platform online races, with all six racers battling to pick up track pieces, build something resembling a coherent track, and smash each other into the void as they fight for victory. It's all the chaos of classic Make Way, pushed to the extreme!

With six players in the mix, things on the track are bound to get hectic, so why not calm it down a little? Deploy the new Bulldozer track piece to clear away some of the obstacles that your rivals have put down and make yourself a path to victory... or leave space for an even deadlier item.

Players will also have more choice over how they race, with the Custom race mode being even more customisable than before. Increase the final score limit, change how many fails it takes the trigger a checkpoint skip, and more, to create your own racing heaven (or hell). You can even set which weapons and obstacles show up in the game and adjust the rates at which they appear. Tailor your combinations for a balanced game or turn off all the walls and put shotguns absolutely everywhere. The choice is yours.

On top of all that, there are three new vehicles to bash your friends with. Take the kids for a drive in the Crumple Zone, feel like a real racer in the Thunder, or force a daily dose of calcium on your foes in the Milk Truck, modelled after streamer and Make Way lover SMii7Y.
