Table of Content

Riders Republic has rolled out Season 17 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. The update centers on a limited‑time in‑game concert by Myd, a lighter season progression target, and creator‑friendly tools for Lab Events. The season also expands Mass Race XL playlists and introduces a weekly rotation of special activities. Ubisoft notes the calendar is subject to change, but the core dates and systems are set.

Below are the key changes and dates players should know, based on the official announcement.

Myd’s in‑game concert – dates, sessions, and what to expect

For the first time in Riders Republic, French electronic artist Myd hosts an in‑game concert running December 19 – January 1. During the event window, all players will spawn in front of the stage in The Deck, the game’s social hub. Concert sessions replay every day at 9:00 AM PST and 6:00 PM PST. Simply entering the arena grants exclusive in‑game rewards.

The collaboration features three Myd tracks, including an exclusive remix of “Make Me Feel Alive” made for Riders Republic, and converts the Dome at The Deck into a dedicated show space.

“I’ve always loved blending worlds – music, gaming, and creativity. Riders Republic is the perfect playground for that. I can’t wait to see players ride and vibe to my tracks inside the game.” – Myd

An official livestream featuring Myd and guest creators is scheduled for December 19 at 12:00 PM PST / 9:00 PM CET on Ubisoft’s channels: YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@Ubisoft and Twitch – https://twitch.tv/ubisoft.

Season progression and outfits – lighter grind, quicker dressing

Season Progression now requires 700 stars, which Ubisoft states is about half the requirement of previous seasons. Completing the track awards the Goose variant of the Snowskate and unlocks the Snowskate for free.

Outfit management is streamlined: once you obtain a themed outfit, you can save it in the “My Outfit” category to equip it with a single action.

Lab Events and creation tools – precision snapping and community spotlights

Season 17 improves Lab Events with enhanced object snapping. Builders can snap to all points on an object or select a specific point for more precise placement. The season will also highlight three community‑made events that appear directly in the world on a rotation, with in‑game notifications when each goes live.

Season 17 activities – weekly rotations and Mass Race XL updates

Expect a weekly rotation of special events throughout the season. Mass Race XL playlists add more variety than in past seasons and, for the first time, include competitive outfit variants. Ubisoft also notes a collaboration with Fasthouse to bring motocross‑inspired style into the mix.

Why it matters

Season 17 focuses on quick wins and fresh reasons to log in – from daily concert showtimes to a shorter 700‑star grind and better creation tools. If you dabble in events, build in the Lab, or chase cosmetics, the update reduces friction while adding timed activities with clear dates.
