Touchgrind BMX 3: Rivals is the new name for Touchgrind X
  • Touchgrind X has been rebranded to Touchgrind BMX 3: Rivals
  • A massive 2.0 update was also released last month
  • New Freestyle mode, achievements, and more

If you've been searching for Touchgrind X and wondering where it went, here's a quick heads-up - it’s now known as Touchgrind BMX 3: Rivals. This rebranding comes shortly after the major 2.0 update from last month, which gave the game a fresh coat of paint alongside a stack of new features. It may have a different name now, but it’s the same adrenaline-pumping BMX sim that fans love. 

Touchgrind BMX 3: Rivals’ 2.0 update introduced the Freestyle Mode, a thrilling feature that lets you explore maps at your own pace while pulling off tricks without the pressure of a ticking clock. It's ideal for experimenting with the trick combo system, which now allows you to link stunts seamlessly for massive scores. 

On top of that, there’s the Tricktionary Achievements to keep you motivated and a Qualifier Series to help new riders ease into the experience. Matchmaking improvements also mean finding opponents in multiplayer is smoother, so there’s always a challenge waiting.
