A new "ManiaScript" is being created to help players add new features in the game.

As the game's popularity grew, players began uploading complicated custom built courses onto YouTube showcasing their creativity.

This allowed those who pre-ordered access into the multiplayer beta, to get the remainder of the features automatically activated upon the game's official release on 14 September 2011.

On 27 February 2013, the game was also released on Steam along with the new installment of the series, TrackMania2: Stadium.

As of January 2024, TrackMania2: Canyon features 2 official gameplay modes: Race and Platform.
