Original Fire Games will release Circuit Superstars on Switch next week, the studio has announced. It will be available on June 22, 2023.

Circuit Superstars, a top-down racer, first released towards thee end of 2021 to a strong reception. A ton of features involving both single-player and mutliplayer. We have lots of additional details below.

Circuit Superstars is a top-down racer built by racing fans, for racing fans. The game celebrates generations of multi-disciplinary motorsport, focusing on driving that feels great – but with a high skill ceiling, that will have players spending hours honing their perfect lap.

Starting out is simple but learning the nuances of each car’s handling and finding the best racing line through each corner of each track will be a challenge for a long time to come. Not only that, but with the option of fuel usage, tire degradation and racing damage, even a good pit stop strategy could make the difference between hero and zero. Feel the rubber bite into the road as you pass the start/finish line and dive, brakes squealing, into the first corner!
