Last Updated: August 2026 | Shop, rewards and codes checked against the live game.
Midnight Racing: Tokyo is a driving game built on a recreation of Tokyo. You start with almost nothing, earn yen by driving, and work your way through a list of more than 180 cars that you can rebuild piece by piece. There are highways to run flat out on and mountain roads that will put you in a barrier if you get greedy.
It opened in June 2019 and has passed 180 million visits since. This page covers the shop, the rewards worth chasing, and the strangest thing in the game: a reward that has been sitting there for four years and has never been given to anybody.

How to Play Midnight Racing: Tokyo
There is a lot going on here for a driving game, so this is the order that makes sense.
- Start on the codes. There are working ones and they hand you yen, which is the single biggest head start available to a new player.
- Buy a cheap car rather than saving for a dream one. You earn far faster with something on the road than with nothing.
- Drive laps to earn. Yen comes from driving, and lap times are the main way it lands.
- Spend on tuning before you spend on another car. A rebuilt cheap car will beat a stock expensive one.
- Learn one mountain road properly instead of half of all seven maps. The passes are where the racing actually happens.
- Watch out for the toll roads. Going through the barriers costs yen unless you have the pass for it.
- Go exploring when you get bored of laps. There are secrets hidden around the maps and some of them are worth real money.
Midnight Racing: Tokyo Gameplay: How Far People Actually Get
This game gives out a reward simply for turning up, which is useful, because it tells us how many people have ever played. That number is just over 19 million. Everything below can be measured against it.
| Reward |
Players who have it |
What it takes |
| You Visited! |
19,008,031 |
Turning up once |
| You Played One Hour! |
907,929 |
One hour of driving |
| Novice Racer |
223,377 |
Reach level 25 |
| Experienced Racer |
115,493 |
Reach level 50 |
| Professional Racer |
43,354 |
Reach level 100 |
| Expert Racer |
30,782 |
Reach level 125 |
| Legend Racer |
22,460 |
Reach level 150 |
The first drop is the brutal one. Of those 19 million, only 907,929 stayed for a single hour. That is fewer than 5 in every 100 people who opened the game, which tells you this is a driving game with a learning curve rather than something you pick up in a minute.
After that the ladder behaves as you would expect, roughly halving at each step. One thing to be careful with: the level 25 and level 50 rewards were added about eleven months before the higher three, so they have had longer to collect people. Compare the top two with each other, and the bottom three with each other, rather than across that gap.
The Reward Nobody Has Ever Earned
This is the best thing we found in this game and it is worth the whole page.
There is a reward called UFO. It was created in July 2022, it is switched on, and its entire description is one word: Nonsense.
It has been earned by nobody. Not a handful of people, not a secret club of three. Zero, out of more than 19 million players, across four years.
We checked that three separate times against another reward in the same game to be sure the number was real and not a glitch, and it came back the same every time.
So either there is something hidden in this game that nobody on earth has found in four years, or it was switched on before it was finished and left there. Both are good stories, and the developer is the only one who knows which.
If you want to be the first person ever to earn something in a game this size, that is your target. Good luck.
All the Midnight Racing: Tokyo Secrets
The UFO is not the only thing hidden out there. This game has been quietly burying secrets for six years and here is the full list with how many people have found each one.

Nobody knows. Nobody has ever found it |
The campground and the shrine are a lovely pair. Both sit on the same mountain, and the number of people who have found each is 20 apart out of more than 121,000. People clearly go looking for one and stumble into the other.
The samurai tomb is the newest and it went in this month, which tells you the developer is still hiding things after six years. Only 1,198 people have found it so far, so that one is still fresh if you want a head start.
Seven Years In Alpha
The game opened in June 2019. Its own page today says the version is Alpha and that it is still in development.
For years before that it carried the word Demo in its name. The Alpha label only turned up in February 2025, which is five and a half years after it opened its doors to the public.
Here is the part that made us laugh. Back in May 2020 the developer sold a pass called the Alpha Version Starter Pack. Its selling line was a boost for when Alpha hits, and it promised a pile of yen waiting for you on that day.
That pass was taken off sale in February 2025, two days after Alpha finally appeared in the name. Anybody who bought it in 2020 waited nearly five years to collect.
None of this means the game is unfinished in a way that should put you off. It has 180 million visits and updates land constantly. It is just an unusually long road, and worth knowing about before you spend.
The Midnight Racing: Tokyo Shop
Thirteen passes have been made for this game. Seven are still on sale and come to 1,267 Robux for the lot.

| Electronic Toll System |

Notice that not one of those makes your car faster. They are music, furniture, plates, lights and shortcuts. The cars themselves are bought with yen you earn, which is why the codes matter more here than the shop does.
The 49 Robux toll pass is the one that tells you something about the world. There are toll barriers on the roads and going through them costs yen. That pass simply waves you through forever.
Six other passes have been switched off over the years, and two of them are worth knowing about. There were passes that multiplied the money you got from lap times, and their own descriptions explained that buying both stacked them together. That whole way of earning was retired years ago, so anybody quoting it at you is working from very old information.
Codes
This game has working codes, which is rarer than you would think, and two of them unlock parts of the map rather than yen. One of them even unlocks a second code. Our Midnight Racing: Tokyo Codes page has the full list, the order to do them in, and the one code you should not paste by accident.
Who Makes Midnight Racing: Tokyo
It is made by devGem, a group with over 937,000 members that has been going since 2016, run by a verified account.
They have three games out and this is comfortably the biggest. The other two are also driving games, one built around track days and one a kart game, so this is a studio that does one thing and sticks to it.
About 90 in every 100 votes on this game are likes, which is strong for something with this many players.
Tips for New Midnight Racing: Tokyo Players
- Do the codes first. They are free yen and a couple of them open up map areas you cannot otherwise reach.
- Do not buy the most expensive car you can afford. Tuning a cheap one properly beats owning a fast one you cannot set up.
- Learn one mountain road until you know every corner. That is worth more than knowing a bit of all seven maps.
- Remember the tolls. Driving through barriers costs yen, and it adds up when you are grinding laps.
- Go and find the campground and the shrine on the mountain. They are easy, they are free, and most people never bother.
- Do not trust old guides about earning money. The passes that doubled lap payouts were retired years ago.
Midnight Racing: Tokyo FAQ
How many cars are there?
Over 180, and the game says so on its own page. They are bought with yen you earn rather than Robux.
How many maps are there?
Seven, ranging from wide highways to twisting mountain passes.
Are there codes?
Yes. Most give yen, and two of them unlock parts of the map. One of those has to be redeemed before the other will work.
What is the rarest thing in the game?
A reward called UFO, created in 2022, which nobody has ever earned. Not one player out of more than 19 million.
How many people stick with it?
Just over 900,000 of the 19 million who have tried it stayed for a full hour, so fewer than 5 in 100.
Is the shop pay to win?
No. All seven passes on sale are music, furniture, plates, lights or shortcuts. None of them makes a car faster.
Why does it say alpha?
The game has described itself as unfinished since 2019 and only picked up the alpha label in February 2025. Updates still land regularly.
How many players fit in a server?
Eight.
