Electronic Arts Re-Releases Classic Motorcycle Racer Road Rash on PC
Electronic Arts has launched Road Rash 30th Anniversary Edition across Steam, EA App, and GOG, bringing the 1996 PC combat racer to modern platforms with enhanced features.
Electronic Arts has published an unexpected re-release of its classic vehicular combat game with the launch of Road Rash 30th Anniversary Edition. The remastered edition is now available across digital storefronts, including Steam, GOG, and the EA App, and is built upon the foundation of the 1996 PC version.
The core gameplay loop remains untouched from the original release. Players participate in illicit street races across public roads in the United States, trading melee attacks with rival riders while dodging oncoming civilian traffic and evading pursuit from highway police patrols.
Several technical upgrades have been implemented for modern hardware. The re-release features improved overall frame rate stability, restored original full-motion video (FMV) sequences, and full native support for modern gamepads, complete with analog controls and vibration feedback. Additionally, the original licensed 1990s soundtrack featuring bands such as Soundgarden, Therapy?, and Swervedriver has been restored and now plays directly during active races.
