Revamped Patreon Tiers

Yesterday we spent some time in Discord chat with a handful of community members to revamp the Patreon tiers to make them more interesting and a better value. I want to explain the changes we made and how they impact you.

Why change them? Here are how many people subscribed to the old tiers:

• Green - 570

• Blue - 68

• Black Diamond - 1

• Double Black Diamond - 1

As you can see, the vast majority are subscribing to Green with no real incentive to join the higher tiers. We were not offering enough value at the higher tiers to justify their price.

We also thought having four tier choices was a bit too many and became confusing and resulted in decision fatigue so we simplified them to three tiers.

Green Tier

• Not much changed here. We removed some things like livestreams, developer Q&A, and other things we have been providing to everyone for free. We don’t want these things locked behind a paywall. The main reason people buy the Green tier is to play the game, and that’s still in there.

Blue Tier

• The big change here is that we added a monthly exclusive in-game customizable item. Every month that you are subscribed at the Blue Tier, you will get an exclusive in-game item that we will give out later when customization is added to the game. This will be a single customizable item per month: jerseys, shorts, shoes, gloves, helmets, accessories, bike graphics, etc.

  • This perk will start from now moving forward. This allows anyone who doesn’t want to miss out on these items to subscribe now and be able to earn them all. In other words, we won’t go back and add monthly items from July through September 2025.

• We added “name in game environment” where we will take players’ names who subscribed at this tier for at least one month and place them around the game environment. Something like your name on a plaque on a tree, or on a bench, or on a walk of fame are just some ideas that have been thrown out. We’ll work with the community when the time comes to figure out a fun way to do this.

• The Founders Gear Set is still in this tier. You only need to subscribe for a single month at this tier to earn this exclusive full rider gear set. It is unchanged from before.

• The price changed from $10 to $12. This was because we removed the $25 tier and added the monthly customizable to Blue instead of to the old $25 tier.

  • If you are currently subscribed to Blue tier at $10, you will continue to pay $10 unless you cancel and resubscribe again. Only new subscribers will get the new price.

Black Diamond

• The old Black Diamond tier ($25) was removed and Double Black Diamond was renamed to Black Diamond.

• The old Black Diamond tier perk was to get early access to modding tools. We have decided that all paid Patreon Tiers should get access to modding tools at the same time, which is why we removed this tier.

• This tier price and contents are the same as before, only the name has changed.

• We have always thought of this tier as mostly for people who just want to support us with extra money and don’t expect many people joining it.
