- Post a comment The newest entry in the Trackmania series is officially out today on PC at the Epic Games Store and the Ubisoft Store.
The game was previously delayed due to the outbreak of coronavirus. As a remake of the highly-regarded free Trackmania Nations, fan interest is running high for this new game, titled simply Trackmania. However, some in the community are expressing concerns and confusion about its three-tiered subscription model.
As shown below, the three tiers of the new Trackmania are Starter Access, Standard Access, and Club Access. Standard Access and Club Access are each a subscription of $10 and $30 a year respectively, while Starter Access is free. Essentially, Starter Access allows players to sample 25 of the game's pre-made tracks, while Standard Access unlocks daily competitions, the Track of the Day, player creation servers, and the track editor. Club Access grants players the ability to create their own custom servers, participate in online rooms, and compete in the official Trackmania leagues.
Starter Access: Free for players to race solo or multiplayer on
quarterly renewed official campaigns, including 25 tracks, allowing players
to earn medals and record scores in the regional rankings. Players will be
able to enjoy other player’s creations on the Arcade Channel, try various
editors (tracks, replays and skins) and map review servers. The weekly
Nations League is also available for casual competitions.
Standard Access: In addition to the free content, Standard Access
expands the content available with player creations, including the “Track of
the Day” selection, and full access to replay, track editors and map review
servers. Additionally, players can participate in daily competitions and
keep every “Track of the Day” and “Official” campaign track. One year of
standard access is available for $9.99.
Club Access: Including the above, Club Access allows players to
join their favorite clubs to access exclusive content and activities such as
skin customization, special campaigns, online rooms, training tracks and
competitions. They can also create their own club to share their creations
and organize events. Players can participate in the Open Grand League,
organized by Ubisoft Nadeo, and try to qualify for the Trackmania Grand
League. One year of the Club Access is available for $29.99 or three years
for $59.99.
