About this game

Race the Sun is an endless racer set in an abstract environment.

The player controls a solar craft hovering above the surface and it needs to survive as long as possible, racing after the sun that provides the power to move on.

The game world is procedurally generated and changes each day.

It is divided into regions with a completely different lay-out each day, but with fixed mutators for each region to build a similar difficulty curve for every session.

To survive the craft needs to dodge moving and falling blocks, pillars, shapes and projectiles that appear in quick succession.

Acceleration is done automatically and it cannot be slowed down.

The craft can be steered left and right endlessly, as there is no border to the game world.

The quickest way to gain speed is by picking up yellow boost items, slightly reversing the sun path for a while.

Green items provide a jump that can be triggered at any moment, allowing the craft to fly.

Purple ones provide a second chance after a crash.

Obstacles are not the only concern, as tunnels, clouds or objects blacking out the sun also need to be avoided as they deplete the available energy.

The game is over when there is no more sunlight or after a crash.

Along the way blue tris can be collected, triangles that add up to a score multiplier.

When bumping into an obstacle, not causing a complete collision, some speed is lost and the multiplier is reset.

The gameplay is fast-paced and requires good reflexes in the later regions.

By steering in a certain direction and quickly switching, a barrel roll can be performed.

The game offers different objectives that can be completed over multiple sessions, such as achieving a certain amount of air time, clearing a region without a single collision, collecting a number of tris, achieving a certain score etc.

This allows the craft to level up with a cap at 25.

With almost every level some new options become available, such as decals for the ship or attachments.

The latter include a magnet

About PlayStation 3

Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.

Gamevaro tracks Race The Sun for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Race The Sun to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2013.

No market sales have been tracked yet for Race The Sun — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
