Riptide GP: Renegade in IOS

Rocket powered water racing!

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

91/100

Riptide GP: Renegade is the gold standard for water-based racing on mobile. Vector Unit has taken everything that worked in previous entries and cranked it up to eleven. The story mode adds a surprising amount of context to the racing, giving you a reason to push through the ranks of the illegal hydrojet racing circuit. But the real star is the water physics. The way your jet reacts to wake, waves, and turbulence is unparalleled, making every race feel dynamic and unpredictable.

The trick system is fluid and rewards risk-taking, which is essential for building your boost meter. Visually, the game is a stunner—especially on newer devices—with water droplets hitting the screen and beautiful lighting effects. It’s fast, it’s technical, and it’s one of the few mobile racers that feels like a true console-quality experience. If you miss the days of Wave Race or Jet Moto, this is exactly the game you've been looking for.

Experience the future of illicit hydrojet racing, where armored riders kick out death-defying stunts over massive waterfalls, dodge cops through public waterways, and boost at breakneck speeds across surging waves.

You are a hydrojet rider, framed and cast out from the Riptide GP league, forced to race illegally through city waterways, flooded ruins, and churning factory machinery in an effort to reclaim your reputation and your title. Play through the single player career to unlock new vehicles, playable characters, and customization features as you take down bosses and build your crew.

Then, take your skills online for the ultimate test as you battle opponents around the world in 8-player online matches. Challenge your friends for leaderboard supremacy in the ghost-racing challenge mode. You can even play locally in split screen races with up to 4 players!

Featuring thrill-ride race tracks packed with shortcuts, secrets, and interactive obstacles, Riptide GP: Renegade is the action-arcade water racer for a new generation.
