The game incorporates some dopamine manipulation through variable rewards for race performance and vehicle upgrades, as well as a sense of infinite play with open worlds. Monetization exists through microtransactions for vehicle parts and customization, which could create a 'pay-to-win' dynamic, especially in competitive multiplayer. Competitive toxicity could also be a factor in online races.
