Steam
We Were Racers: First Drive is a story-driven, arcade-style street racing game set in the night streets of Echo Hills, a reimagined city inspired by a real-world location.
Compete in high-stakes races, build your reputation, and carve out your place in the underground scene. But as you push forward, you'll realize there's more to these streets than just racing.

Over 400km of road to drive on, From the calm of the back roads to the eerie quiet of the city streets, from the low hum of industrial zones to the warmth of residential areas, and from stunning hilltop views to the winding roads below, this city has something for everyone.
Whether you prefer high-speed straights or sliding through corners, tight technical turns or long, sweeping bends, the roads here will test your skills. Built across hills and valleys, this city delivers constant elevation changes and a variety of terrain, making every drive feel different.

Follow the protagonist as he races through the night, pushing forward toward a goal even he isn’t sure of. With a few trusted companions by his side, he takes on racer after racer—but in this world, trust is a dangerous thing.
Every race brings him closer to something—answers, the past, or maybe just another dead end. Will he find what he’s been looking for, or was he never meant to get there?
