Hill Climb Racing 3 Open Beta launches on Android in Finland, Norway, Sweden, and the UK

Fingersoft launches Hill Climb Racing 3 Open Beta with real-time PvP on Android

Hill Climb Racing is leveling up. Hill Climb Racing 3 is now available in Open Beta on Android, introducing the series’ first live PvP multiplayer alongside playful player interactions and gadget-driven chaos. The early access rollout is currently live in Finland, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, with broader availability expected later.

For Fingersoft, this is the next big step for a franchise that has quietly become one of mobile racing’s longest-running success stories. After two wildly popular entries built on simple physics and solo or asynchronous races, Hill Climb Racing 3 is designed to bring that familiar hill-climb feel into a more social, competitive, and modern 3D package, while still being something you can pick up for a few chaotic runs on your phone.

• Updated 3D look: more detailed tracks, vehicles, and environments while retaining the series’ bouncy, physics-first handling.
• Expanded cast & customization: Fingersoft has teased multiple playable characters beyond Bill Newton, opening the door for different driving styles and builds.
