The latest addition to Xbox's free-to-play lineup has been revealed today in the form of Stampede: Racing Royale, which has officially launched in Xbox Game Preview form for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Windows PC.
As noted in the headline, the game clearly takes a lot of inspiration from the likes of Mario Kart and Crash Team Racing (yes, there are powerups a-plenty here!), but it also puts its own spin on things. In Stampede: Racing Royale, there are 60 racers competing at the same time, and your goal is to become the ultimate winner at the end of three events.
Even though it's now available on Xbox, the game is still a work-in-progress - hence its "Xbox Game Preview" status. Nevertheless, there's clearly a lot to discover here already, and it'll be interesting to see how it evolves over time.
We'll throw more details about Stampede: Racing Royale below, along with some screenshots.
"Welcome to Stampede: Racing Royale – the wildest racing event in existence. Step on the gas in thrilling kart racing and battle events, with 60 participants all competing simultaneously. Harness your skills and a huge range of power-ups to steer your way to the front of the herd across in classic circuit racing, or fight the crowd head-on to score the most points in arena-based battles."
Will you be taking to the track with Stampede: Racing Royale on Xbox? Let us know down in the comments.

Looks fun. As a Mario Kart fan, I'll give it a go. Probably better than Disney Speedstorm for me.
I'd like to see MS make their own now they have a lot of great IP's they could use. Obviously Crash and Spyro, but also Conker, Banjo & Kazooie, Blinx etc but also Pip boy, Doom guy, Master Chief, Joanna Dark, Marcus Fenix ett could round out the characters too
I already tried it. It’s fun.
@Marxally I lasted around two and half hours with Disney Speedstorm, before properly thinking about all the free-to-play nonsense, RNG and grinding I'd be putting myself through and noped the hell out of there.
@BAMozzy it'd be great if Microsoft had somebody secretly working on Mario Kart and Smash clones right now. But that would make too much sense.
Sure, I'll try it. The idea sounds a lot of fun, so I hope that the execution is good enough.
There's an even better one called crash team racing how about drop it on gamepass or do we need another price hike for this
@Ricky-Spanish And make it 60FPS while you’re at it!
Had a quick go last night. Won my first race against 39 other racers. Very surprised. Seems fun though, looking forward to seeing what can be added to it in the future…
@AccessibleDaydream @Ricky-Spanish (cough)andbringittoPC(cough)
@Markatron84 That's dangerous talk my friend 🧑🌾
I just played (and won) my first match. Firstly, it's 60 fps which is great. Secondly, the idea is as fun as it looks and the fundamentals are solid, so it has a lot of potential. For the record, I'm a big fan of the genre since I was a kid.
Tried this last night, definitely had some fun. It's no Mario Kart but it's free and 60 players is neat, the later rounds aren't as fun though. I like the huge crowd of round 1.
Thank you for sharing the information.
Looks like fun.
I'll give it a try...
Also, I'll try to let my nephew to play some.
I have been playing this. It’s really good. Great fun. Good challenges as well. Cant wait to see how this one grows. Deffo worth a try if , like me, you love Karting games.
