CarX Street: Answering Your CarX Street Questions

Not really, this is not like CarX Drift Racing Online. There’s nothing like “ZML” or “Kino” and the use of cheats is discouraged and actively punished by the developers.

You can use something like the graphics mod “Reshade” but not much more than that.

No, the game will not function without an internet connection sadly.

No, because it’s not on consoles yet. There’s no crossplay between PC and mobile, because they’re significantly different versions of the game.

If you have any interest I say try it, and you can refund it within 14 days or 2 hours played, whatever comes first. Just keep in mind that in my experience the game gets better once you’ve played for awhile and earned some money to buy cars and upgrades.

It’s not perfect, but I enjoy it regardless.

Yes, and it supports some wheels as well.

Possibly a fully upgraded Skyline 2000 GT-R based on the power to weight ratio. It’s a new game receiving constant updates and more testing is needed.

Doing almost anything generates income. If you’re fairly new to the game you can do delivery missions a little, then just play through the clubs and when you’re about to start a new club that requires a higher class keep your existing car how it is and build a new one.

When you get a bit further in the game and have a fast car you can start speeding down the highway and swimming through traffic for credits and xp. Crashing does not lose money, just your multiplier.

Finally near the end game, when you can have multiple different cars and have beaten 5 or 6 clubs, you can start grinding elite races. Beating an elite race will start a cooldown timer so you need to have a specifically built car for each club to continue grinding. This method will get you all three, money, cash and XP.

The game nickel and dimes you with tire changes, fuel, fast travel, style and power upgrades, and more. It’s a good idea to buy the cheapest fuel and tires unless you know it’s needed and save your money for select cars and upgrades when you know you’ll need them. Improve your car through free tuning as much as possible. Fast travel can actually end up making you more money as you’re saving time between races.

If you’re having trouble completing races you should upgrade your car until it’s on the precipice of becoming the next class, then tuning it so you can make the absolute most out of those upgrades. If you still are having trouble with a certain race you can try upgrading the tires for more grip and using the premium fuel but be aware you’re going to be spending a lot more money to win.

I also want to add that any car should be capable of winning any race if it’s tuned right. After tuning focus on your driving technique and you can slam into AI racers to run them off the track if you’re struggling.

For drifting events you need tune your car for drifting and focus on getting the MAX ANGLE. Don’t try to do a normal smooth drift, you have to get your car almost completely sideways, just on the precipice of spinning out to get the maximum points.

You just can’t right now.

The game is somewhat poorly optimized and has a nasty habit of tanking the FPS during longer play sessions.

A lot of people will tell you to upgrade your PC, don’t listen to them. If you can play most games fine but not CarX Street PC it’s just because the game’s developers aren’t optimizing it enough yet. There’s no sense in dropping hundreds or thousands of dollars just to potentially play one game a little better.

I suggest lowering the graphics settings like resolution, for example if you’re playing at 4K drop it to 1080P. Restart your game somewhat regularly to prevent the FPS tanking, and patiently wait for the developers to hopefully fix the issue. That’s really all we can do at this point.

There’s plenty of guides right here on Steam about how to tune. It would require a lengthy explanation beyond the scope of this guide, so I won’t go over it here, but any knowledge you might have about real cars should apply pretty well. Just keep in mind it is a game and not a simulator.

It’s compatible with the Steam Deck, and should work perfectly except for performance issues due to the unoptimized nature of the game. Try playing on the lowest graphics settings and slowly raising them until you get a good balance between performance and graphical fidelity.
