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:

mousetrap please?
@1393 I think most of the lurkers around this blog got R&C
So we don’t waste our time posting, is that all the codes?
Id do despicable things for a R&C code
If the code gives you an error, you either put it in wrong or someone beat you to it.
And chances are it’s the latter. Try another code as fast as you can!
Man, bunch of crybabies in here. If you missed out, it sucks but oh well, don’t act like a baby because you didn’t get anything.
one code with the 3 characters! :D!
Is that all?
got drake woot!
@1405 u dont have to be a jerk about it
UFG could you do us a favor and make the Preorder guys available for purchase? I really want a Ratchet and Clank and will buy it!
Can we get codes now that give all 3? :D
It was a waiste of time I sat here refreshing for nothing the codes all give a error. Not the its already been used error a diff one.
PSN cant handle it or something this is really frustraiting I know its free stuff but ya know with these kinda promotions just make me not want to buy dlc after this.
Did nothing but cause frustration. I mean if they are gone fine but when psn wont even let you use the code. WOW laim.
@1404 You’re just saying that because you got codes… >_>
cowboy and van man… and mousetrap for that guy
They probably will, Scavengre.
@1411,
Learn how to spell!
