| Question | Current answer |
|---|---|
| Release date | September 3, 2026 |
| Steam app | SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed |
| Developer | Fair Play Labs |
| Publisher | tinyBuild |
| PC store | Steam |
| Game Pass | Day one on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, according to Xbox Wire |
| Xbox platforms | Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through the Game Pass listing |
| Online player count | Up to 8 players per online lobby on Steam |
| Local play | Shared or split-screen PvP on Steam |
| PC storage | 3 GB available space on Steam |
Platforms, players, and access
The Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch versions all launched on September 3, 2026. Their official store listings give different player limits:
| Platform and official store | Local players | Online players |
|---|---|---|
| PC via Steam | Shared/split-screen PvP; limit not specified on the checked store page | Up to 8 |
| PlayStation 5 | 1-4 | Up to 8 with PS Plus |
| Xbox Series X|S | 2-4 | 2-8 |
| Nintendo Switch | 1-4 | 2-4 with Nintendo Switch Online |
Xbox Wire lists day-one access through Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass for Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Nintendo lists the Switch version as compatible with Switch 2, not as a separate native Switch 2 release.
Crossplay and the Switch exception
The publisher’s launch announcement confirms PC/console crossplay. Its Switch launch notice specifies that Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series crossplay was unaffected, while Switch crossplay was delayed by a technical issue. Switch players could still play online with other Switch players.
Switch crossplay restoration is not confirmed as of September 9, 2026. The publisher’s earlier fix estimate is not confirmation that the update is live.
Steam modes
Steam lists competitive races and a single-player story campaign, not a co-op campaign.
| Mode or feature | Confirmed detail |
|---|---|
| LAN | LAN PvP listed on Steam |
| Solo | Single-player listed on Steam |
| Remote play | Steam Remote Play Together listed |
| Core loop | Run, jump, slide, grapple, and use pickups to stay on-screen |
| Progression style | Competitive play with maps, leaderboards, private lobbies, and tournaments described on Steam |
Remote Play Together shares a host’s local session. It should not be confused with native crossplay between separately purchased console and PC versions.
PC requirements
Steam currently lists only minimum PC requirements.
| Requirement | Minimum |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 64-bit |
| Processor | Ryzen 5 1600 or Intel Core i3-8100 |
| Memory | 16 GB RAM |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super |
| DirectX | Version 11 |
| Storage | 3 GB available space |
| Note | SSD recommended; requirements are subject to change |
That storage footprint is small, but 16 GB RAM and a GTX 1660 Super-class GPU mean older laptops should check the Steam requirements before buying.
