The Rayman Raycer Season 10 event in Ubisoft‘s The Crew Motorfest lands on 19 August 2026, confirmed just a day before launch via a sub-ten-second clip posted to social media that showed the limbless platformer hero bobbing along in a car and flipping through the air. Short notice, then, but it got the attention it deserved.
The announcement came through Ubisoft’s Rayman social channels, including YouTube Shorts, with The Crew Motorfest’s own branding sitting alongside it on the post shared to X. That dual branding was the first clue that this was not a standalone Rayman racing title but something woven directly into Motorfest itself, and so it has proved.
RC Cars at the Heart of the Rayman Raycer Season 10 Event
According to IDC Games, the Rayman Raycer is built around one of Motorfest’s newest vehicle categories: RC cars. It is a dedicated Season 10 in-game event, which explains why the Motorfest team was co-promoting the announcement rather than simply lending their logo to a separate product. Rayman is not just making a cameo; he is arriving alongside a vehicle class that is itself new to the game.
That is a pairing with a certain logic to it. RC cars, with their miniaturised sense of scale and chaotic handling, sit comfortably alongside the anarchic visual energy Rayman has always brought. Seeing that aesthetic transplanted into a racing context, with the character’s floaty, exaggerated movement translated into a vehicle bouncing around a track, suggests the event will lean into the absurdity rather than sand it down.
New Track, New Car, Launching Across All Platforms
As reported by IGN, players can get behind the wheel as Rayman with a new track and a new car inspired by the platformer. Both appear designed to reflect the source material rather than simply drop a skin onto existing content, which is the kind of care that separates a proper crossover from a lazy one.
IGN also confirms the Rayman Raycer Season 10 event is available from 19 August across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The full breadth of that platform list means the event is not locked behind a current-generation upgrade, which will matter to anyone still running Motorfest on last-generation hardware.
The announcement timing was, to put it gently, brisk. Ubisoft put the news out on 18 August for a 19 August launch, giving the community less than 24 hours to process it. Whether that was a deliberate strategy to generate a burst of social activity or simply how the scheduling fell is not clear from the materials posted. Either way, the short clip did its job: it circulated quickly, and the questions it left unanswered, chiefly what exactly the RC car event entails mechanically, were answered almost immediately by the launch itself.
There is something pleasingly low-fi about the whole reveal. A clip of under ten seconds, a character bobbing in a tiny car, no lengthy pre-reveal marketing campaign. For a franchise with Rayman’s history, sometimes that directness is the right call. The Rayman Raycer Season 10 event is available to Crew Motorfest players now across all listed platforms.
