According to the official press release, Riders Republic will be free for you to play from February 10 – 14, 2021, on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One consoles. PC is not included in this free weekend however the console players can start pre-downloading the title today and wait for the weekend to download the full game.
Along with the free weekend, Ubisoft has also detailed that the new collaboration with Prada will allow players to discover sections of the Riders Ridge social hub decorated with the colors of Prada Linea Rossa in order to deliver an immersive thematic experience.
Blending influences drawn from the world of technical sportswear with streamlined silhouettes, Prada Linea Rossa redefines the idea of modern luxury, with a focus on technical detailing and new manufacturing possibilities. Dynamic, versatile, and high-performance designs define a new urban uniform geared towards movement.
The collaboration does not include just the decorations as you will find exclusive new content in the game as well including:
- A new event, Prada Beyond the Line: Playable solo or versus friends, this event is a creative new take of one of the most epic snow parks of the Republic and will allow players to use the Faction x Prada Linea Rossa skis, as well as the Riders Republic jumbo bike and new freestyle snowmobile for free.*
- An original in-game outfit designed exclusively by Prada for Riders Republic; players can unlock the outfit by competing in the Shackdaddy Bandits weekly challenges.

We are thrilled to have been given the opportunity to work with Prada to design original sports outfits and gear under their Linea Rossa collection and bring them to Riders Republic. We thrive to offer our players a rich and diversified experience in the game and look forward to hearing what they have to say about this exciting new content and original in-game collection.
