Controls to learn before you drive

Check

In short Knowing every key before you pull out saves a lot of frustration on the road.

Almost everything in Highway Showdown runs through keyboard shortcuts, so it is worth spending a minute on the menu screen going over them. The camera, your brakes, your lights, and your driving-assist systems all have their own keys.

Camera press V to cycle between first-person, chase camera, and free camera
Handbrake hold Left Shift to lock the rear wheels for sharp turns and drifts
Lights and signals L turns your headlights on or off, Z triggers the left blinker, C triggers the right blinker
Hazard lights press X to flash all four indicators at once
Traction Control (TCS) press T to toggle it
Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) press Y to toggle it

Picking a map and vehicle

Step

In short Choosing the right map and vehicle at the start sets the tone for your whole session.

When you load into the game you will be asked to make two choices before you hit the road.

Choose your map several maps are available, so pick the one that matches what you want to do: racing, drifting, or a relaxed cruise
Choose your vehicle you can get into a car or a bike

Ways to earn in-game money

Tips

In short You can build up money steadily without paying anything.

There are four separate ways to earn cash, and none of them require Robux.

Tips worth knowing

Swerve through traffic while driving — cutting close to other vehicles earns you money
Keep the game running — you earn rewards just for the time you spend in a session
Log in every day — a daily bonus lands in your account each time you come back
Redeem codes — the developers release codes with updates and milestone announcements; entering them unlocks extra rewards

Redeeming codes

Warn

In short Codes expire and each one can only be used once, so enter them as soon as you find them.

The developers tie new codes to like milestones and updates. As of October 19, 2026, two working codes are available through this site — check the codes section of this page for the current list, since codes are not printed here to avoid showing expired ones.

Worth watching out for

Each code works only once per account you cannot reuse it

Codes are time-limited and can stop working after an update

Joining the developers' Roblox group is the fastest way to hear about new codes before they expire

Drifting and driving techniques

Step

In short Using the handbrake and driving-assist toggles together is the key to clean drifts and quick laps.

The game has genuine drift mechanics built in, and the TCS and ABS toggles let you tune how the car responds.

Use the handbrake press Left Shift for sharp curves and drifts
Adjust TCS press T to toggle traction control
Use ABS press Y to toggle anti-lock brakes, changing how the car behaves under hard braking

The game is still in development

Warn

In short Features, maps, and rewards can change at any time, so treat the current state as a work in progress.

The developers have stated clearly that Highway Showdown is not in full release and that everything is subject to change. When the game goes offline, that means an update is being applied.

Worth watching out for

Controls, maps, and reward amounts can be adjusted without notice

New cars, maps, and features get added through updates a server shutdown signals one is happening

Glossary

TCS (Traction Control System): A driving-assist feature that stops the wheels from spinning out during acceleration; toggle it with T.
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System): A safety feature that prevents the wheels from locking up under hard braking so you can still steer; toggle it with Y.
Handbrake: Activated with Left Shift, it locks the rear wheels and is the main tool for starting a drift.
Hazard lights: All four blinkers flashing at once, turned on with X.
Free camera: A camera mode accessed by pressing V, along with first-person and chase camera.

Common questions

FAQ

Do I need to spend Robux to enjoy the game?

No. Swerving in traffic, logging in daily, and simply playing over time all generate in-game money without any purchase. Redeeming codes adds to that without costing anything either.

Can I play with friends?

Yes. The game supports cruising, racing, and exploring together.

Where do I find new codes?

The developers release codes alongside updates and when the game hits like milestones. Joining their Roblox group is the most reliable way to catch them early before they expire.

Why did the server suddenly shut down?

A shutdown means the developers are pushing an update. Wait a minute and rejoin — the game will be back with whatever was just added or changed.
