- Real Racing 3 is a racing game that gave us over 600 licensed cars from 52 manufacturers to race around.
- As a thank you, you'll receive 1000 Gold, an Audi S1 e tron quattro, and the 2023 Rimac Nevera.
- The devs are not offering any refunds or an offline mode.
Electronic Arts has announced the shutdown of their popular racing title, Real Racing 3, scheduled for March 19, 2026. This highly successful entry to the award-winning franchise first debuted back in 2013, and is now sunsetting after giving us 12 years of memorable racing experiences.
Devs confirmed that the decision to end service came after much consideration
Most of you’ll remember Real Racing 3, which let us drive over 600 licensed cars from 52 manufacturers, including some of my favorites like Porsche, Koenigsegg, and Ford. What really set it apart for me is how we had to maintain and service our vehicles to race around 59+ circuits at 28 real-world locations.
Unfortunately, the team has revealed via X (formerly Twitter) that the game will end service on March 19, 2026, stating, “After much consideration, we’ve made the difficult decision to sunset Real Racing 3.” They reflected on the last twelve years’ journey, which has “been a remarkable journey with all of you on Real Racing 3.“
You can play and spend any remaining in-game currencies until EOS
Following the announcement, the game has disabled all in-app purchases and has been removed from app stores. But you can still play until server closure, and use up any remaining currencies. Plus, you’ll get 1000 Gold, an Audi S1 e-tron quattro, and a 2023 Rimac Nevera as a token of appreciation.
It’s really sad to see such a title go, since it was part of most of our childhood. And a lot of fans feel the same as me, with one stating, “Thank you guys for making my teenage years so enjoyable and introducing me to racing.”
That said, they’re not offering any refunds, or an offline version is kind of a bummer, and I get why some fans are upset, asking questions like “So what about those people who put money in it?????“

Very Sorry to hear that RR3 is shutting down. The problem is we can’t use the game now because when it opens up, there is a pop up that says you must update to a newer version, but there is no update. It doesn’t give me a screen without that update alert in front of the game so I can’t get around it to enter the program. Can you at least fix that so we can race until March 2026? Thank you.
