[1] The game was originally set to be released on 3 November 2015, but was delayed to 22 March 2016 to give additional time to the development team to further polish the game.

[2][3] TrackMania: Turbo features gameplay akin to that of previous games in the series.

The player can race on over 200 different tracks[4] across four different locations, namely Canyon Grand Drift, Valley Down and Dirty, Rollercoaster Lagoon and International Stadium.

The game's developer stated that "[They] wanted [Trackmania Turbo] to be an arcade game"[6] Various modes appear in the game, including a single-player campaign and a mode called Double Driver, which is a cooperative multiplayer mode where two players control the same car.

[7] TrackMania Turbo also has a split screen multiplayer mode for up to 4 players[8] which makes it the first racing game with such gameplay for the consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and PC in 2016.
