Fitness meets eSports
ICARACE is a global, competitive multiplayer racing simulation where players fly on ICAROS Pro or Home devices. The competition demands body control, strength, and utmost concentration. ICARACE is free to play and accessible to competitors from around the world.
In 2018, ICAROS launched the Global ICARACE Series (G.I.S) to host tournaments both online and in the real world. World championships were held in Germany from 2018 to 2022 with great success. The 2023 edition took place on July 1, 2023 at the Level Up Gaming and eSports Festival in Salzburg, Austria. Pilots can qualify by achieving a top-10 placement on one of the available race tracks.
Background Story
ICARACE develops a narrative of corporate-sponsored pilots in a futuristic racing league, where pilots compete on race tracks for fame and recognition. Players create their own online profile and compete against each other to set records on a wide variety of tracks. Unlike conventional video games, ICARACE simultaneously offers a virtual gaming experience and a demanding physical workout. The experience is not just a fitness-promoting activity but a sport that fosters the development of both mental and physical abilities.
