How to play PolyTrack: corners and acceleration

Learn an easy track first, then build up your speed. A few simple controls let you focus on enjoying every lap.

Ease off before a bend, accelerate on the exit

In PolyTrack, use W / ↑ to accelerate, S / ↓ to brake and A D / ← → to steer. Keep braking at a stop to reverse. Staying off-road too long returns you to the last checkpoint with a 3-second penalty.

Save your nitro for the right straight

Hold W or Up to accelerate, then hold Shift or Space for nitro. On mobile, hold the lightning button to accelerate and boost. Drive through cyan nitro canisters to refill; restarting a lap restores them.

Pause and try again

Press Esc / P to pause, R / Enter to restart. Leaving the game or hiding the page pauses it automatically; select Resume when you return.

Find your favorite car

The PolyTrack garage offers six cars with body, accent and wheel colors to choose from. Drag to inspect your car, then take it for a lap.

Bring your ideas to life in the PolyTrack builder
