Last Verified: August 2026 | Checked this week against three separate lists.
Midnight Racing: Tokyo does have working codes, and most of them hand you yen to spend on cars. Two of them are far more interesting than yen, because they unlock parts of the map you cannot otherwise reach. The full working list is below with a copy button on each one.
One warning before you start pasting. Not everything in the code box is a free gift, and one of the codes doing the rounds will overwrite the cars you have already built. There is a section further down explaining exactly which one and what it does.

Codes here are case-sensitive, so type them exactly as written above or use the copy button. The two at the top must be done in that order, and that is explained next.
You will notice we have described the yen codes as a pile of yen rather than giving you a number. That is deliberate. The lists we checked disagree with each other about how much each one pays, sometimes by millions, so any figure we printed would be a guess. The codes work. The exact amount is worth finding out yourself.
The Code That Unlocks Another Code
This is the best thing in the whole list and hardly anybody explains it properly.
The first code is literally three question marks. Type those in and nothing obvious lands in your account. What it actually does is switch on a second code, and until you have done it the second one will simply be rejected.
That second code opens the Shirakawa mountain pass, which is a whole road you cannot reach any other way. So a code that appears to give you nothing is the one standing between you and a piece of the map.
The game has kept that secret going for years. There is a reward in it for people who worked out the question mark code, and more than 425,000 players have earned it, so you are in good company but far from the majority.
The One Code You Should Not Paste By Accident
There is a code going round called DataRecover, and it is not a free reward. It is a repair tool the developer left in the code box.
What it does is put your vehicle setups back to an earlier saved state. In the game’s own words, it overwrites your current vehicle configurations. If you have spent a week tuning a car since that save, that work is what gets written over.
It does ask before it goes ahead. After you enter it you have to type a second word to confirm, so nothing happens from one paste alone. That second step is the only thing standing between a curious tap and losing your builds.
Use it if you have actually lost a car and want it back. If you are just working down a list of codes hoping for yen, skip this one and do not confirm it.
Expired Midnight Racing: Tokyo Codes
These are done. They are listed so you can recognise them when somebody hands you one, because plenty of old pages still show them as working.

How To Redeem Codes in Midnight Racing: Tokyo
1Open the game and wait for the main hub screen to load rather than jumping straight into a car.
2Find the Promo Codes button on that menu.
3Copy a code from the table above using its copy button, which avoids typing mistakes.
4Paste it into the box marked Enter Promo Code.
5Press and hold the submit button. It is a hold rather than a tap, which catches a lot of people out.
6Check your yen went up. If nothing happened, the code has run out or a capital letter is wrong.
When Do New Midnight Racing: Tokyo Codes Drop?
Nobody outside the game can promise you a date, but this one has a longer history than most, and it points somewhere useful.
Codes here have tended to arrive alongside events and milestones rather than on any schedule. Looking at what has expired, there have been Christmas codes, Halloween codes, an Easter one, a New Year one, and several tied to follower counts on social media.
The game is still being worked on constantly. Its name carries a tag announcing whatever went in last, and over the past year that has included new cars, new body kits, a boss event and bug fixes.
So the sensible time to look is around a holiday or a big update. We recheck this page every month either way.
What Yen Is Actually For
Yen is the money in this game and it buys cars, body kits and tuning parts. There are over 180 cars to work through, so a code that hands you a few million is a real head start rather than a token.
It is worth knowing what yen does not buy. The shop that takes Robux sells convenience and decoration, things like a boombox, a skateboard, a foldable chair, custom light colours and licence plates. None of that makes your car quicker.
There is one exception worth a mention. Some of the roads in this game have tolls on them, and there is a 49 Robux pass whose only job is to let you through the barriers without paying. Everything else you drive through, you pay for in yen.
About Midnight Racing: Tokyo
It is made by a group called devGem, which has over 937,000 members and is run by a verified account. The game opened in June 2019 and has passed 180 million visits with more than 727,000 favourites.
Servers hold eight people. It is a driving game built around a recreation of Tokyo, with long highways, mountain passes and over 180 cars you can buy and rebuild.
The game still describes itself as being in development after seven years, and the version number on its own page reads Alpha. That is worth knowing before you spend anything.
Scam warning: Codes for this game go in the Promo Codes box on the main menu and nowhere else. No real code needs your password, your email or a payment, and no website can generate one for you. If a page asks you to log in to claim yen, close it.
