Ubisoft has announced that Riders Republic will release on Nintendo Switch 2 on December 9, alongside the release of offline play. It has also revealed what further update fans can expect from the game’s 5-year anniversary.
A blog post outlines the new port and offline addition to Riders Republic:
With the Nintendo Switch 2 version’s upcoming release and the game being certified on Steam Deck, the team worked on empowering players to continue their progression even without an internet connection. This Nomad mode allows players to enjoy the majority of Riders Republic’s content in single-player. Explore the open world freely and progress through your careers at your own pace. Unlock landmarks, uncover beauty spots and find all the balloons scattered across the world. Continue to customize your character as you wish.
Once reconnected, the game seamlessly reconciles all actions performed offline with your online save. Every bit of progress made while offline is fully reintegrated into your overall Riders Republic progression. Nothing is lost.
This feature is especially valuable for portable platforms like Steam Deck and Switch 2, and also provides a smooth experience during network disruptions or server maintenance for all platforms.
Riders Republic remains a live game, some content is not available online: the shop, the season progression, sponsors, multiplayer modes and user-created events require an internet connection to access.
Offline Play will launch December 9 on all current platforms, including Nintendo Switch 2.
Riders Republic will also hold an in-game concert dedicated to Henri PFR, alongside the following sales: up to 90% off on the Ubisoft Store through October 26, up to 80% off on the PlayStation Store through November 4, and up to 80% off on Xbox Store through November 4. The game will also hold the following IP collaborations:
