Im Oktober kam das Spiel schon bei Steam, nun wurde "Race the Sun" auch für die Playstation 3, Playstation 4 und PSVita angekündigt. Im Sommer soll das Spiel dann über das Playstation Network erscheinen.
Laut den Entwicklern sollte es schnell, spaßig und herausfordernd werden. Flippfly co-founder Forest San Filippo dazu: "After quite a bit of discussion and thought, we decided on some specific goals for Race the Sun. It had to be fast, fun, and challenging. We knew that some of the fastest games out there were encumbered by complex rules and controls — and we really wanted our game to be fun right from the start. The mantra “easy to learn, hard to master” was adopted in lieu of design documents, and we got to work."
