Stampede: Racing Royale is a surprisingly delightful 60-player battle royale game where players race karts around tracks. It’s coming to Early Access on Steam in 2023 from Level Infinite’s Sumo Leamington and publisher Secret Mode.

It’s basically a kart-racing game like Mario Kart where 60 players race each other in a free-to-play free-for-all. It debuts on Steam Early Access and then console versions will arrive later. I played a demo at the Summer Game Fest’s Play Days and I enjoyed the chaos of 60 players trying to race for limited power-ups on a kart-racing track.
