10 Years in review and whats ahead in 2025
This year is particularly special as it marks the 10th anniversary of Liftoff, a decade of innovation, community, and progress. This anniversary marks the start of an exciting new chapter with our sights set on Liftoff 2.0. Our focus: refreshing older content and visuals while expanding customization options. We want Liftoff to evolve from a sim built for you to a sim you can shape: your drones, your levels, your content, your vibes. It begins with the launch of a completely revamped track builder (a true game changer), soon to be followed by a HUD customization tool, now in its final stages of development. For a glimpse of Liftoffs fresh new look, heres a preview of our UI revamp, making Liftoff look less 2015 and more 2025 from the moment you booth up the sim:
Disclaimer: Nothing shared in this post is set in stone. We follow an organic development approach, and plans may evolve over time based on opportunities and community feedback. While were eager to get everything into your hands as quickly as possible, were fully committed to taking the time needed to ensure everything is done just right.

Not much of Liftoffs original 2015 version remains, most of its code has been rewritten, and much of the content refreshed. Back then, it launched as a single-player experience with just 3 drones, 4 levels, and none of the features we now take for granted: leaderboards, freestyle mode, bots, tutorials, or a track builder. With everything weve achieved so far, imagine what the next 10 years could bring. Were fully committed to supporting Liftoff for another decade.
As we step into 2025, whats on the horizon? Our plan remains clear: continuing with our tried-and-true approach: improving whats already there and rolling out new features and content.
Currently, we have two levels in production, each at different stages of development. The first, titled "Rustline," is slated for release in Q1 of this year. Here's a very early sneak peak.
Celebrating the past and future decade of Liftoff.
