Update: The Race With Ryan Deluxe Edition is now available for $29.99 / £24.99 / €29.99, both digitally and physically. A new trailer has been released to celebrate, and we have a rundown of everything included below:
Race With Ryan Road Trip Deluxe Edition is the ultimate Race With Ryan experience bringing together the original title and all new content released since launch for a total of 16 tracks and 33 fan favourite racers. The brand new DLC pack adds 2 new tracks and 7 racers including Montana Panda, Nevada Ryan and Wisconsin Lexa. Fans of all ages can take to the track with their favourite racer and cruise along Route 66, Icy Land, Forest, Redwood and New York, New York, before zooming to the finish line.
Original Article (Mon 11th May, 2020 15:30 BST): The Deluxe Edition we've all been waiting for is finally here, as Outright Games reveal the Race With Ryan: Road Trip Deluxe Edition and Race With Ryan: Surprise Track Pack DLC.
Yes, arguably the most irritating racer on Switch is back with brand new content, available as a digital update for those who already own the game, or as part of a Deluxe edition bundle which apparently offers "the ultimate racing experience".
The new Track Pack DLC adds two new tracks - Icy Land and Route 66 - and five new racers including American Titan, New York Lexa and New Hampshire Panda. This expansion pack is available as we speak for $7.99 / £5.99 / €7.99, so feel free to get on that immediately if you already own a copy of the game.
If you'd rather wait for the Deluxe Edition - which will be available both digitally and physically - that's planned to launch in October. This will contain the full original game, Surprise Track Pack DLC and a brand new American road trip themed pack.
We reviewed the base game when it first came to Switch in November. If you can't tell, we weren't exactly impressed. Here's what we had to say:
"Putting our opinion on the cynical Ryan phenomenon to one side, the resulting game is nevertheless a slightly below-average kart racer that handles reasonably well but generally underwhelms, from the pitifully small number of tracks to the uninspired, floaty-light weaponry. Give your kids a Mario, Sonic or Crash racer instead; they may be young, but they aren’t stupid."

Man, don’t Ryan’s parents feel any shame for making their kid a cash cow?
Oh no guys, they mistook irony for actual love of the game!
They most absolutely are young and stupid because a lot of kids actually enjoy this game
@nessisonett It sounds like they took well to the criticism and want to improve on the game! 😂
Now, all that's left is for Garfield to patch those bugs out
Mario Kart killlahhhh.
This suggests that the game was actually successful enough to warrant an expansion.
Is Ryan's world still going strong? He won't stay young forever.
Oh yeah, I did feel like I'd been itching for a race with Ryan.
As a fellow "Ryan," I am... ashamed...
watches the video, around the 30 second mark When Ryan popped up in the bottom right hand corner, I wanted him to say 'Toasty!'
I honestly wonder if the original release’s success was driven by the perceived “rarity” of the game and collectors lapping it up. I expect the same to be done now for this new “complete version”.
Ryan's 「world」
TOKI WO TOMARE
The irony of the game's titular hero and the author sharing the same name can't be understated.
I'd rather shove my hand in a toaster.
Article appropriately written by Ryan.
I`d rather buy 10 copies of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe than THIS
Seriously, screw this kid's parents. I don't allow my son to watch Ryan. It sets up an unrealistic expectations for children. It's not the kid's fault, but the mom, in particular, is a manipulating wench.
Uh yeaahhh.... No thanks I’ll pass.
HOORAY! More exploitation!
Mario Kart has nothing on this.
I'm buying zero of these. It looks good in pictures, though.
So you guys will write about this, but not that Kirby is in a fortnite trailer? Ight...
It's always like this with really young child stars. They only have a shelf life of a few years. Gotta milk that cow like crazy while the milk is still coming.
I'd rather give myself an enema then ever even touch this turd.
Burn it now who got a blow torch for the game
@Link41x
That made me laugh so hard. xD
@WickedUnicarnBoi They wrote about that two days ago.

@JasmineDragon Yeah especially when it comes to Youtube child stars like this. Considering how the legal guidelines have changed with them not being allowed to exploit children like they used to along with Ryan getting older as all kids do I would expect this to be one of their last attempts to milk the brand for what it's worth.
"The ultimate driving experience " probably not.
@RupeeClock He's NINE. He looks FOUR. I can imagine his parents will just keep going until he moves out, or has no more views
These devs have sold their soul...
Is this a damn joke
@Bobb I bought Garfield Kart because I wanted to experience some life changing shovelware. Now, I am by no means claiming its a good game, but I didn't think it was nearly as bad as the reviews suggested. It probably could be patched up to be a decent game (not that I expect that to happen) because it's a case of everything feels a little off, as opposed to having problems so major the only fix would be to start over.
@King-X Ha, I was literally just playing the DS edition of Diddy Kong Racing last night. That game is really overdue for a sequel.
Unfortunately what often happens with these child stars is in about 15-20 years his mugshot will be on the news. Either from getting arrested from being coked out of his mind in a random Carl's Jr. at 2am or getting pulled over from driving 107 mph in a 45 mph zone with a open bottle of Jack Daniels & pills.
Hopefully his family and those around him (his legal, sales, marketing teams, etc.) are providing proper guidance, any needed counseling and support to ensure he's well educated to grow up to be a upstanding individual. Not just another "fall from grace" statistic.
@imgrowinglegs Your right. I saw the article but forgot it was on here. Thank you.
@RustedHero Those mugshots usually feature a strung out drug addict look with terrible tattoos.
@RupeeClock Get ready to see Ryan do tik tok dances and call gamers the N-word when he's 13.
"This expansion pack is available as we speak for $7.99 / £5.99 / €7.99, so feel free to get on that immediately if you already own a copy of the game."
You are joking, right Ryan?
@RupeeClock Don't worry, they have clonee to take his place.
LET’S GOOOOOOOOO
@Dakotastomp Did you see what I said above? What you said is definitely a precursor to my prediction....Let's hope not but won't be surprised if it does happen
@graysoncharles
I think Gary Coleman is a more appropriate comparison for what could happen to him later...
Bobby’s World will rear it’s head in vengeance.
@Severian It's good business while it lasts. Live and let live.
@Dog riiiight business is more important than child development. Sure. Okay. 🙄
I'm surprised Ryan is still viewed enough to get DLC for his game
LOL at Racing with Ryan getting DLC before Mario Kart 8 Deluxe!
I will wait for Ryan’s review.
(he is probably tired of this joke)
Knowing pocket.watch I'm surprised they didn't add MTX. Have you seen the HobbyKids' blatant Carls Jr. advert cartoon? pocket.watch are money-grabbing leeches exploiting the lack of regulation for new mediums.
Great news - the switch has been crying out for a kart racer.... barely any of any quality available 😂😂😂😂
Parents buy your kids the proper choices not this you cruel monsters - if your kid would rather race as Ryan than Yoshi.... you’ve failed already.
@ummyeahnintendo Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is Mario Kart 8 + DLC already.
Step aside Mario Kart! Move along CTR! Race with Ryan is clearly the kart racer masterpiece we’ve all been waiting for!
But for real though why does this exist?
I saw this game on Playstations YouTube channel, The comments were turned off, I wonder why ...
this kid is not gonna have a good future
it's like we aren't the target audience for this game and people can't figure it out.
@Switcheroot : Exactly. I'm sick of the constant nagging for DLC. I like my deluxe editions complete as is, thank you very much.
@Severian Trying to be positive about this kid's future, ironically the upside is that everyone could forget who this kid is in a few years. Then he can have a normal childhood again while he's still young. Another advantage this kid has over Gary Coleman is Ryan will grow up and be hard to recognize. Coleman looked the same as he did on TV for the rest of his life and EVERYONE knew who he was. Not that I particularly approve of what his parents are doing, but I don't think this is nearly as bad as what happens to a lot of child actors.
Noice!!! This is already at the top of my non-existent list of games to never buy! Now I get to not buy the DLC either!
I rather race with fictional characters like Mario and Diddy Kong, thank you.
@TheFox Jake Lloyd is another extreme I could argue, but Ryan probably has a ton of friends who want his toys as opposed to Jake being bullied.
I don’t think he’ll have a normal childhood due to all those toys and online presence though.
@WreckitRyan why? You have a kart game with your name!
Ryan for smash!
@Not-Geno one of the worst comments to accidentally hit dislike on trying to heart it
@ghostrider135 Because it falls under YouTube Kids content which automatically has comments disabled!
Man, I've been waiting far too long to play as Montana Panda. I hope they add Master Chief and Goku on the next DLC
I want to buy this just for a meme
@JoeyTS So nothing to do with it looking crap then, I would so much rather play any Mario Kart or CTR or Sonic All Stars games, Hell even Modnation Racers looked better than this on the PS3, Shame that game died.
Hooray! The game is still trash!
I wonder if there will be any money left by the time Ryan hits 18, or will his parents have spent it all. See Jackie Coogan Law.
@Tasuki Livin' the Dream!!
Anyone got a gun?
Sorry, Ryan, you may have recieced a few novelty sales from your first game, but your time is up. Time to go.
Saying we aren't the target audience is just an excuse for a bad game.
So kids can have technically horrible games because they are directed towards them and everyone else should just ignore how awful it is?
@doctorhino true words have never been spoken. This is also the question in arts on whether something is not just good or bad, but tasteful. This “game” is not good or tasteful.
Who pays for this trash?
@RustedHero when you grow up and realize people liked you better as a dumb 6 year old than a mature adult it messes with your head. These kids end up thinking the growing up process made them "worse" and end up becoming self destructive but it's somewhat understandable. They grew out of what people liked with no fault of their own and feel more in control and smart but are disliked for it.
Looking forward to the Ryan series going darker in about 15 years
That Ryan guy on the cover looks like Cartman when he was pretending having down syndrome.
