G-MODE Archives+ Ridge Racer Sets Switch and Steam Release Dates
G-MODE announced on September 2, 2026 that the feature phone version of Ridge Racer will be revived through its G-MODE Archives+ project, with the Switch version launching September 3 and the Steam version arriving September 16. The game is priced at 800 yen including tax. Ridge Racer originally operated in arcades in 1993 and was ported to home consoles the following year, with this release being the version optimized for feature phone applications. The revival includes three difficulty modes (beginner, intermediate, and advanced) plus a time trial mode where players race against rival cars to shorten their times. Four car types with different performance characteristics are included, such as acceleration-focused models, allowing players to select their preferred machine. This release marks the fifth Bandai Namco Entertainment revival title in the G-MODE Archives+ series, following Xenosaga Pied Piper, Namco Chronicle, Pac-Man, and Lost Chronicle, all of which are currently available.
