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.

Got the 2nd Drake code :D
CRAP STILL DIDN’T GET RATCHET!!!
@143 IIRC it was for Gamecrazy, before they went under
I like how I input the code after like a minute they’re taken ._.
Thank u guys! you made my day anyway, can’t wait to wednesday!
Damn it. I was on the phone when the codes came out. Why is it that when I’m waiting nothing comes out and when I’m on to something, codes come out. Gee. LOL
I still need some ratchet and clank codes.
It’s funny where Russell puts the codes.
@151 Good luck and thanks. Had no idea.

Thank you Sony and United Frodnt games. Loved this game since day one. Can’t wait to see what other dlc will be released
This patch sound AWESOME!! I can finally go back to playing this game!! Big question though!!
Will the patch affect the trophies? Meaning if I change the difficulty for Career mode to the New “Casual” Difficulty Mode, will I still own the trophies?
BTW since the new patch will be out, I will even start buying some MODS in the PSN store, I was just waiting until this game gets fixed, and it looks like with this patch, you guys out did yourselves. Let’s us hope what we see on paper, will since in actual game!! 5 out of 5 stars!!
You guys move fast, I just want the Nathan Drake DLC :(
I want a drake! :D Please and thank you with cherries on top. Oh yea, more than one cherry.
I cant get none of them men i already got kratos from gamestop u gonna put more
^that gets moderated? come on it’s a real word

An error has occurred for my Kratos code.

Damn, I was refreshing while looking at the replies number to see when he replied but apparentaly it’s updating way slow.
Got any more to giveaway UFG?
^this is why no one can get any, people trying to get all of them when some haven’t even gotten one.
Wow suprisingly I just tried the 1st newest Drake code and got it. I guess everyone skipped it thinking it would be taken. Anyway big thanks to UFG!
@168
@ 168 wow arent u a little greedy? so many peopl dont even have 1
I’m not even sure if I should still go after this Ratchet and Clank code when I downloaded a Clank mod that looks exactly like the DLC. Maybe because I want one from UFG?
Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet RatchetRatchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet
more drake plz
glad someone agrees with me…
It’s Ironic that after I kill myself finishing every objective in every race, and actually doing it, now they change the hardest of all.
* Devastator takedown on Wild Run
* Devastator takedown on Modobahn
* Sideswipe 3 opponents on the cliff side on Fracture
And now it doesn’t make any different because I did them already.
-_-
But I’m really expecting all the new improvements anyways. ;)
i kinda wish the codes were more like tokens that can be kept or traded. in the case that some1 was quick enough to grab 2. y cant he give it to someone who couldnt get away ;/
Im so happy! I got Kratos! I should have never doubted you UFG!
I just need a Drake one and i’m done, I don’t really care for Ratchet and Clank or Kratos.
ijust need ratchet and clank, i paid for a kratos and got the R and C through my pre-order. STOP TAKING MORE THAN 1!
:( NOOOOO I just woke up… so muchh fun SO MUCH!!! xD
more codes please and then modnation racers monday is under way. lol
see how exited i am lol
I guess of all the things to distract me when he finally posted Drake codes it was my wife telling me she is (Genuinely!) pregnant has to rate as not too bad! But any chance of more Drake codes?
MORE PLEASE I HAVEN’T GOTTEN ONE AND I JUST TUNED IN
… oh, i saw 2nd nathan drake code and thought he meant 2nd he got, not scond in the list…. tee hee. sorry
@186 Congrats!
I kinda wish the codes would support more than only 1 download per code.
drake drake drake i want me some drake
damn i will break my refresh button soon lol
Its error 80023102.
Thanks UFG, I only got the Kratos code, but I’m happy with it :D, hopefully can grab another one if possible
