Back in November, we revealed that Evolution Studios was working on a new title, MotorStorm RC, which would be released in the US as a downloadable game for both the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation Vita.
The game received critical praise when it launched in the UK two weeks ago. We think you’ll agree that the wait was worth it, as we are pleased to not only announce that the PS3 version will be available beginning tomorrow separately for $9.99 ($7.49 for PlayStation Plus subscribers), but to also let you know that the PS Vita version of MotorStorm RC will also be available as a free download thanks to our partners at Scion.
That’s right—for a limited time, the complete Vita MotorStorm RC game is available for download absolutely free – no additional purchases necessary! Not only that, but you’ll be able to drive a custom RC version of Scion’s iQ which is exclusive to the PS Vita version of the game. And be sure to check out the plethora of downloadable content which will become available for purchase for both versions of the game tomorrow.
MotorStorm RC features 16 unique tracks spread across four extreme environments, including the dusty desert mesas of Monument Valley, the dangerous jungles of a Pacific Island, the icy tundra at the Arctic Edge, and the apocalyptic ruins of a destroyed urban city. Players can conquer these environments in powerful radio-controlled vehicles, with hundreds of uniquely customized models to collect in 8 distinct categories: Buggies, Superminis, Rally Cars, Muscle Cars, Racing Trucks, Supercars, Big Rigs and Monster Trucks.
Visit the PlayStation Store on PS Vita tomorrow afternoon (Pacific time) to download your free game. And after you’ve taken the RC iQ for a spin in the virtual MotorStorm world, you can always check out this new vehicle in the “real world” at a Scion dealer near you. Enjoy!

@ Budapesti
Well i wouldn’t have bought the ps3 version if a week later it was going to be FREE for Vita! That’s my point, the one that you’re missing. Don’t bother trolling a reply i’m just making an observation.
This is a very unexpected and pleasant surprise. Thank you so much! I bought a PSN card to get this game, but now I’ll use it for Journey!
Again, THANKS!
Now this is spectacular to say the least, i hope to see more ps plus subscribers to get discounts on Ps Vita games.Touche Sony touche Sony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When we get this game for free, will it stay in our download list in the fuure.when the promo is over? I got Flow for free during a promo period but after formatting my ps3, i noticed I cant donwload Flow anymore without purchasing it. and I bought the addon that time! will it be the same case here?
Free for vita Thanks a lot this game looks great for the ps vita I am sure I am going to enjoy this game
@wanshot
No on in their right mind preorders digital content unless there was some kind of promotion for doing so! It’s not like they’re going to run out of physical copies once the game is released and you’re going to have to wait until it’s released before you can download an install it in the first place. I hope you’ve learned a lesson here otherwise you’re just another case in point for PT Barnum’s expression regarding a fool and his money.
thank you scion and sony
#107 – @Major_Hoare Totally agree with you. Like when we found out a day or two before the Vita even came out that, Super Star Dust would be the free PSN game after setting up your 3G service. Several people on the blogs crying about how they had already bought it on the PSN. Why anyone would pre-order a digital download (without some sort of content or price reduction bonus) is beyond me.
First off, I’d like to thank Evolution, Sony and Scion for making this happen, my friends and I have been looking for a current gen version of RC Pro AM for a long time. That said, Evolution, you could make your existing customers very happy and probably garner a much larger audience if you added online multiplayer, or even just ad hoc/local multiplayer to the mix. I for one would be more than happy to buy the PS3 version of the game if such a feature was added via a patch or even DLC with a nominal fee, just food for thought. The asynchronous features of these early launch titles are not what the majority of gamers I know want, and they’re not going to fly as we move away from the launch window. Please give us online play!
This game has an 80/100 average on Metacritic (at this time) and we’re getting it for FREE!? Are you kidding me!? The Vita just got even better! I was actually going to purchase this tomorrow alongside Unit 13. Thank you so much Evolution and Scion.
This so awesome one of my most anticipated vita games and my first cause’ i’m gettin my vita tomarrow from G2K for free but how long does this last i want my friend to get it too but he’s gettin’ his vita NEXT week on tuesday as well so i’m hoping it lasts a few weeks please answer how long we have Thank you and have an amazing day +I love you SCION
