Key facts

  • An offline mode arrives on the same day.
  • Anyone can play it for free from October 22 to 26.
  • Ubisoft says 17 million people have played it in five years.

Ubisoft announced on October 20, 2026, that Riders Republic will come to Nintendo Switch 2 on December 9, 2026. The news came during a livestream for the game's fifth anniversary. The open-world sports game is already available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC. Ubisoft has not yet given a price for the Switch 2 version.

On the same day, December 9, a new offline mode called Nomad mode will arrive on all platforms. According to Ubisoft, it lets players play most of the single-player content without an internet connection. Progress made offline is added to the online save when the player connects again. Some parts still need the internet: the shop, season progress, sponsors, events made by players, and all multiplayer modes.

To mark the anniversary, the game is free to play from October 22 to 26. Ubisoft also announced discounts: up to 90% on the Ubisoft Store until October 26, and up to 80% on PlayStation and Xbox until November 4. An in-game concert by the artist Henri PFR started on October 22 and plays twice a day for two weeks.

Ubisoft says the game has had more than 17 million players since it launched five years ago. Other planned content includes an anniversary event until November 4 and a new event from November 25 to December 9.

Ubisoft has not shared technical details for the Switch 2 version, such as resolution or frame rate. It also gave only a short preview of the game's sixth year.
