Overall, the game's optimization has received significant criticism, with players reporting poor vehicle control and performance issues, such as low frame rates and unresponsive settings menus. While some acknowledge that the game is still in beta, many feel that the optimization is inadequate, detracting from an otherwise enjoyable experience.
- “This game isn't really optimized, but that's okay because it's in beta.”
- “These include loss of traction at higher speeds, low optimization, etc. This game, although on the surface looks like 'just another racing game,' is in fact a masterpiece in disguise.”
- “The optimization is laughable... the game defaults to 'epic' settings when opened, requiring me to change the settings while the menu runs at 2 frames per second.”
- “I give it a 9/10, the only problem that really affected my experience is the optimization.”
- “9 GB for this piece of crap, and is not optimized at all; if you're going for achievements, great, but if you're expecting anything else, please avoid.”

- “The problems are with the graphics; the car, at a certain speed, will start to oversteer, and some maps don't work.”
- “Whenever I play, I get a dxgi_error_invalid_call. I'm on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit with an NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti.”

- “Laggy and very buggy.”
