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:

@redaxe add me, my psnid is: UnhumanGoat
Unhuman once u download the coad i cant use it again unless u give me ur acc info and ill give my nathan drake dlc send me ur email
still a bit confused about the removal of the online gameroom …lol dont mean to be such a simpleton. does it mean the racing gamerooms will not be availble from modspot or does it mean individuals will no longer be able to interact , chat , text each other in modspot (no biggie there if that is the case )
dont give anyone your account info they will block it
Online Gameroom is the place where you wait online in a circle, nod the modspot central hub
Looks like a good update. I’ll be getting back into this game come Wednesday.

Talking about gamesharing on the offical PS blog? Smart.
hes the one who offered me to do that im just make=ing it easier
I would’ve preferred that the pre-order mods and karts were available as paid DLC instead of just giving out voucher codes. That’s still not fair to everyone else. I mean, the guys behind Transformers: War for Cybertron put their pre-order characters online in a DLC pack.

Having said that, this is still a really nice update for ModNation Racers. I’ll be sure to get it when I return home on Thursday.

I’m sure they’ll be put on the store at some point.
But….as they dont have remixable parts we can use i might give them a miss.
Can i have a Rachet and Clank Voucher code? Please? Thanks a many :D
I am truly honored that my PlayStation Move Mod has been featured as Mod of the Week! :D Thank you so much Sony & UFG; I am extremely grateful and super glad you like it! Excited for the patch as well! :)
