Turbo Golf Racing Launches Onto PC And Console Today

Turbo Golf Racing rockets onto PC and consoles today. The revolutionary golf game combines rocket-powered cars with golf to create a high-octane game for all players to enjoy. As well as releasing today, a major patch has also been released.

Let’s take a look at what Turbo Golf Racing 1.0 has to offer!

Making golf exciting

Turbo Golf Racing is the answer to the question: what if Rocket League had a golf mode? Players get behind the wheel of a rocket-powered car to charge around the links, with the aim being to get their ball in the hole the fastest.

Various power cores aid you in draining the ball, with a mix of passive and active cores designed to either make the game easier or challenge your golf game. These, combined with powerups dotted around the fairways, add to the action to cause carnage on the course.

Turbo Golf Racing was originally launched in August 2022 in Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview. Despite the game being incredibly fun, players were limited by which platform they had. Now, though, the game has finally received its full release on PC and console.

Drive the links

As of today (4 April), Turbo Golf Racing has left early access, launching on PC and console. The game is available to purchase on PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store.

To celebrate the launch, Turbo Golf Racing has started the 1.0 Launch Party. This contains 40 new rewards for players to unlock, including two new car bodies, three balls, four car shields, three spoilers, four wheels, and over 20 other party-themed rewards.

10 new hole levels have also been added, spanning the range of three biomes available in the game. These holes can be played in the new eight-player golf game mode. This does away with the clock, with the player taking the least shots over each of the five holes taking the crown.

Some of the existing holes have also been adapted to feature night mode, adding to the atmosphere of driving the links in the dark. Elsewhere, over 30 new items have been added to the shop, including the community-designed Octoball. Players can also now save their cosmetic loadouts for their cars to one of three available garage slots.

Finally, a new passive core, Dash and Smash, has been added. This increases the power of your dash, creating new combinations for players to explore.
