Head’s up to all PixelJunk Racers, Q-Games has announced that the follow-up update to their hit PSN slot-car racing title, PixelJunk Racers 2nd Lap, will be available tomorrow to all PlayStation Plus subscribers, while the rest of us will have to wait until the 24th to get the new contents.

Head’s up to all PixelJunk Racers, Q-Games has announced that the follow-up update to their hit PSN slot-car racing title, PixelJunk Racers 2nd Lap, will be available tomorrow to all PlayStation Plus subscribers, while the rest of us will have to wait until the 24th to get the new contents. According to Q-Games president Dylan Cuthbert, 2nd lap will not add trophies to the second outing, but also a whole new difficulty setting that promises to make the game “far easier than it used to be”, a new global scoreboard and a ghost-car to boost:

2nd Lap is totally FREE to existing owners of Racers, and you get to keep the original (difficult) Racers for posterity (it doesn’t overwrite it). PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to get this upgrade a whole two weeks before everyone else too, with also a 25% discount (those lucky folks!) Regular PSN users will soon catch up though, two weeks isn’t too long to wait I hope – it will be available on Aug 24th for just US$ 6.99!

Whether you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber or not, if you’re an existing owner of Racers, be sure to get the FREE upgrade to 2nd Lap. All you have to do is click the FREE button on the 2nd lap product page, add to cart and install… that’s it! For those that are new to Racers, you will automatically be upgraded to 2nd lap at the time of purchase.
