“The Xbox One and Windows 10 versions are finally here and we’re excited to announce that a single purchase on Xbox One or Windows 10 gets you access to both platforms,” says Matt Small, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Vector Unit. “We really wanted to wait until we could take advantage of the Xbox Play Anywhere program and have the game be available across Microsoft platforms all at once. It’s been a labor of love getting Riptide GP: Renegade out on all these different platforms and we’re excited to see the Xbox One and Windows 10 communities join the party.”

In Riptide GP: Renegade, players race rocket-powered watercraft through futuristic environments while pulling off crazy mid-air stunts, outrunning cops, and boosting their way to the front of the pack.

John Breeden II

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
