Wipeout-like anti-grav racer BallisticNG v1.4 out now bringing lots of new content and Steam Deck Verified

By Liam Dawe - 7 May 2025 at 9:23 am UTC

Even though it was Steam Deck Verified back in February, that was Valve testing against an opt-in Beta (which is a bit weird) but now the big release is here for the anti-gravity racer BallisticNG. This update makes it easily one of the best racers of this type available today.

The 1.4 release brings with it a whole new series of ships along with their own different physics, AI improvements, modding improvements, various changes to improve it on Steam Deck like UI scaling along with a redesigned UI, various new tracks to race through, tweaks to existing tracks, new music, upgrades to the photo mode, lots of improvements to multiplayer and the list goes on. It really is a big upgrade for the game.

It's so frustrating that this game goes relatively ignored. IMO, it is the true successor to the Wipeout games and is far better than any of the other anti-gravity racing games I've played.
