This Wednesday, August 4th at 2:00am (Pacific Time), the ModNation Racers Title Update 1.02 goes live improving many of the issues the community has been concerned about. On behalf of UFG, we want to thank everyone for supporting ModNation and being patient as we’ve worked hard to make it the best experience possible. If you didn’t see the patch details on the IGN last Friday, here is a run down:
Update: Title Update 1.02 for ModNation Racers unfortunately introduced an issue that affects online XP Races and XP Series. We’ve identified the cause and are quickly working on a solution to resolve the issue. We intend on updating the ModNation Community on the release of this fix as soon as possible.
Load Time Improvements
While there are still loads, you will see decreases in load times throughout the game.
New “Casual” Difficulty Mode
We’ve added a “casual” difficulty setting in the options screen.
Challenge friends in XP Series
We’ve added the ability to invite your friends to XP Races & Series.
No more “Hot Lap” Cheaters
We fixed a bug that allowed players to cut the track and post unbeatable times in Hot Lap.
Get into Online Races Quicker
Along with improved load times, we’ve removed the online game room from the ModSpot so you can get into the race faster.
Improved Server Stability
We’ve addressed issues to improve intermittent disconnects that players were experiencing.
Three Challenges now more attainable
We wanted to provide you challenges, but didn’t want to sacrifice fun. We found 3 challenges that proved extremely difficult and changed the conditions to complete them. This includes:
- Devastator takedown on Wild Run
- Devastator takedown on Modobahn
- Sideswipe 3 opponents on the cliff side on Fracture
The Tin Bucket Unlocked!
Finally this is an item is unlocked and available to everyone by default.
Collector Card Improvement
Now see all player creations in their entirety.
Improvements to ModNation Racers don’t stop here, we are still constantly listening to the community and are committed to making ModNation Racers one of the most enjoyable experiences you’ll have on your PS3.
New features on Community.ModNation.com
We added features to the Community site Community.ModNation.com to make the experience better too, including:

got myself a drake
I only ask for one character that I have put my whole day into focusing on since I woke up and got on this post, Ratchet. I have been here trying to get him for well over 5 hours today and have not had any shred of luck since then. I am a fan boy of this game and have has high respect for these people since they gave me the closed beta way back when it wasn’t even on the shelves. At this point I’m about to give up on Ratchet codes, the moment you let it out they’re gone before the very nanosecond you post them.
I can believe how fast they go! Oh well at least I got 2 today thanks for the DLC!!!
idc about kratos and nathan i want rachet more
None of the Rachet & Clank ones seem to work
how about the repeaters go away and let some people who don’t have anything get something?
I want Drake just for the Jeep. My brother just finished restoring one of them and we would really like to use it in mod nation
Half of these say they’re invalid, a lot didn’t say they’d been used.
TNKD-K4BL-3JRJ for kratos worked
van man or cowboy

Please say ur gonna put nathan and the others in the playstation store please im cryin because everyone goes so dam quick here
@1354, because we don’t owe you anything?
Beaten again. :(
There are a *lot* of people jumping for these codes.
If one doesn’t work, pick another at random and hope THAT one works.

80023156 error on EVERY code the second you post them
what complete joke this is.
3GF8-RABC-5578
for drake worked
they’re errors in all codes :S!
error 80023156
any more?
Half of these say they’re invalid, a lot didn’t say they’d been used.
exactly they arent even working
They’re going like Hot Cakes!
how about because they are doing something nice that they don’t have to and greed is showing? is that good enough reason?
I dont got 80023156 on my Drake code
More please!
im literally praying here for more r&c codes…
IF YOU’RE GETTING AN ERROR, YOU MISSED OUT, SOMEONE BEAT YOU.
I got kratos and drake both, but I’ve refreshed so much I don’t know which code it was.
this makes me wanna by the keypad for my ps3 controller
im done this was dumb
DO ONE MORE BATCH!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MORE RATCHET AND KRATOS PLEASE!!!!
thanks for doing this again Russell! still havent got one but thanks
Earlier, we were receiving something like “that code has already been used, blah blah blah” …now, I’m getting “invalid code blah blah blah” error on everything. I don’t think something is right.
If someone beat you it would say that the code is invalid, so no error does not mean someone beat you.
Can you do some more Drake pleaseeeeeeeee. That is the only one I want!
@1364: I’m with that guy. I love the mousetrap (and the cowboy truck, too). Do more of the “secret” preorder mods, if you can.
@1375 But it wasn’t the error that you got when a code was used, it was a different one.
Sorry you missed out, nine. :/
Ya that was crazy way too many people trying to score at the same time. I now regret not playing modnation while I sat here hitting refresh for 15 minutes. Oh well, that’s life.
Man, that was a great ride, too bad I’m left somewhat empty-handed…
I hope he tells which is last so i acn leave and eat sumthing
please ramone do more please!!!!!!!!
@1378 dont be that way cause you missed out. it happens. i’m sure this will not be the last time you see these guys available.
has someone gotten any of the recent ratchet?
yea, I just wasted the last 4 hours of my life. thanks.
can you tell us if you are gonna do some more?
mousetrap please.
error in all codes :(
WHY NOT JUST GIVE ALL 3 CHARACTERS AWAY? THESE ARE THE SONY MASCOTS WE HAVE SUPPORTED SINCE THEY WERE CREATED. DO US ALL A FAVOR AND JUST LET US ENJOY THEM!
