Your First Night on the Circuit

1

Learn the Course

Finishing races matters more than winning fights early on. Run each course clean before you chase kills.

2

Get the Airbrake

The airbrake is the difference between a corner you survive and a wall. Practise it before you add speed.

3

Know Your Airframe

Your craft comes out of a chop shop, not a showroom. Learn which frame trades stability for top speed.

4

Pick Fights You Can Leave

Combat is a toll, not the goal. Take swings that cost a rival time and cost you nothing.

What Is Airframe Ultra?

Airframe Ultra is an online multiplayer combat racing game from Videocult and Akupara Games, published by Akupara Games. It launched on Steam on November 5, 2026 at $9.74 in the US store.

The premise is blunt: in Megacity West there are only two kinds of racers, the winners and the dead. You start with a chop shop airframe, a rusted machete and blood on the motorway, then race the underground Ultra Circuit against other players.

That makes it two games at once: a racer where your line matters, and a brawler where your exit matters. Steam tags it Action, Indie and Racing, with full English audio and French, Italian, German, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese text.

Airframe Ultra Guide Sections

Eight sections for the Ultra Circuit: how to start, how to move, where the courses go, which airframe to take, how online play works, launch details, the beta history and the soundtrack.

Airframe Ultra Guide

The basics before your first race: what the loop asks of you and what to ignore until you can finish a lap.

First Race SetupWhat to check before you queue, from controls to camera.
ControlsDefault bindings and the two inputs that decide most races.
Keyboard ControlsPlaying without a pad works, but the airbrake needs a comfortable key.
How to Play OnlineJoining a race, what the lobby expects and why finishing matters.

Airframe Ultra Movement

Movement is the skill ceiling. Airbrake timing, wall contact and momentum carry decide more races than weapons do.

Airbrake TimingBraking early costs a second; braking late costs the race.
Movement TechThe advanced lines players use to hold speed through tight sections.
BackflipAerial control, when it helps and when it just kills your exit speed.
WallridesHolding a wall to keep momentum instead of scrubbing it off.

Airframe Ultra Maps

Course notes for the circuits in rotation, including the corners that punish a late brake.

Ocean DriveThe long coastal circuit: fast, exposed, and where most new players learn to brake.
ChasmTight and vertical, with less room for a bad line than Ocean Drive.
EstateA tighter circuit where combat pressure matters more than top speed.
QuarryWide corners that reward carrying speed instead of cutting.
Storm DrainEnclosed routing where a wallride saves a lap.

Airframe Ultra Frames

Airframes are not cosmetic. Each one shifts the balance between stability, speed and how much punishment it takes.

CruiserThe steady pick: less twitchy, easier to hold a line while taking hits.
VectorFaster and sharper, and far less forgiving of a late brake.
JackrabbitBuilt for hops and short airtime rather than flat-out speed.
BikesTwo-wheel frames that change how corners feel.

Airframe Ultra Multiplayer

Online RacesRaces are the core mode; the lobby is built around a full field.
Playing SoloThe game is designed around online competition, so check the store page for offline options.
Combat EtiquetteWhen to fight, when to run, and why the racer behind you is not always the threat.
