Patch Notes - June 19, 2026

A new update just dropped! Here are the details. Check the video overview above if you prefer video over text.

New Stuff

• Day/night cycle. The sun now rises and sets as you ride.

• New grass, plants, flowers, bushes, and more in the open world environment.

Improvements

• Another completely new 3rd person camera. This new third person camera has replaced the old one. It tilts up on sustained climbs so you can see the hill ahead, frames your spins and wheelies way better, and stays smooth at high speed.

• New third person camera setting for Dynamic FOV. Turn it on if you want the FOV to increase as your speed increases. You can customize the low and high speed FOV values in settings.

• Big performance pass. New "Potato" quality level to get Cranked running on lower-end machines, plus new Tree Distance, Grass (distance + on/off), and Shadow Distance settings so you can dial in your framerate. Minimap and vegetation rendering are cheaper too.

• New sound effects for landings, bumps, and bunny hops as more of our custom SFX roll in

Bug Fixes

• Fixed terrain not rendering correctly on Mac

• Fixed missing audio on Mac and Linux

• Fixed proximity voice chat failing to connect

• Fixed the rider's pants not updating at a distance

• Mod map leaderboards now identify you by your mod.io ID, so entries match up correctly
