Crashday
2006 video game
Crashday is a destruction derby/racing/car stunts game co-developed by Replay Studios and Moonbyte Games and published by Atari Europe. It was released in February 2006.
Gameplay
Crashday puts the accent on air stunts, crashes that result in explosions, and vehicular combat with bullets. Each vehicle can receive damage while racing, which results in losing parts and smashed headlights and windows. The game has seven modes to play along the campaign and multiplayer such as Wrecking Match, Stunt Show or Race, as well as unique Crashday classics like Hold The Flag, Pass The Bomb or Bomb Run.
Steam Greenlight and re-release
On 24 June 2016, Crashday was posted on Steam Greenlight submissions. Crashday was successful in receiving enough votes to be greenlit, and was later announced to be re-released on 10 August 2017. On 11 March 2017, the Steam version was renamed to "Crashday: Redline Edition", with some screenshots showing the new UI and the improved graphics. It was released on 10 August 2017.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Crashday”, the useful work is to connect “2006 video game” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 14, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q1138986. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006, 2016 and 2017.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
