Overview
On October 29, 2026, the EVO Redux project was announced, bringing online functionality back to Trials Evolution: Gold Edition on PC.
The mod is developed by SuperFractor aka beanman25 aka saitken91.
EVO Redux is a free, community-run replacement for the original online services, which were shut down by Ubisoft several years ago. The project aims to restore the game’s online experience, including global leaderboards, ghosts and Track Central, while also making content from the Xbox 360 version available on PC.
It supports both the Steam and Ubisoft Connect versions of Trials Evolution: Gold Edition. Players need their own copy of the game, as EVO Redux does not distribute any original Ubisoft or RedLynx game files.
Online Features Restored
One of the project’s main achievements is the return of online leaderboards and ghosts.
- Global leaderboards: Players can once again submit their times and compete against other riders.
- Per-track leaderboards: Each track has its own online ranking.
- Ghosts: Players can upload their best runs, download other players’ ghosts and race against them.
- Track Central: The original in-game community track browser is restored, allowing players to search for and download custom tracks.
- Historical scores: Thousands of scores from the original online services have been recovered and reintroduced into the leaderboards.
The project recovered 58,543 historical scores from 6,559 players. These scores come from archived data dating back to December 2017, before the original servers were shut down. Since the original player names were not preserved, these entries appear under names such as Legacy#123.
These historical times remain alongside new submissions, allowing current players to compete against records set during the original online era.
Track Central and Community Content
EVO Redux also brings back access to community-created tracks.
At the time of the latest project documentation, more than 2,800 community tracks were available through the in-game Track Central. This includes over 2,100 tracks originating from the Xbox 360 version and 692 tracks recovered from the original PC Track Central archive.
Players can browse tracks using categories such as Most Downloaded, Highest Rated, New and RedLynx Picks, or search by track name and creator. Tracks can be downloaded directly from the game.
Uploading custom tracks is also supported: players can publish their creations through the original in-game editor, making them available for others to discover and download.
The project is therefore not limited to restoring old leaderboards; it also helps preserve and bring back a substantial amount of community-created content.
Xbox 360 DLC on PC
Another major feature is the ability to use the Xbox 360 downloadable content on the PC version of Trials Evolution: Gold Edition.
The PC Gold Edition did not originally include the two Xbox 360 DLC packs:
- Origin of Pain
- Riders of Doom
EVO Redux provides an importer that converts the player’s own Xbox 360 DLC files into a format compatible with the PC version. This process restores the DLC tracks, bikes, sounds, effects and events, including Neverending Trials.
The importer is designed to make the process straightforward, using a dedicated IMPORT_DLC.bat file. Players must supply their own DLC dumps from an Xbox 360 console; the project does not distribute the DLC itself.
The imported content also receives working online leaderboards.
Installation
The installation process is designed to be simple.
Players download the release package from the GitHub repository, extract it and run INSTALL.bat. The installer automatically detects the game installation, whether it is the Steam or Ubisoft Connect version.
Once installed, the game can be launched normally. No original game files are distributed by the project.
EVO Redux also includes a client-side protection mechanism: its installed DLL replaces the Ubisoft password and CD key with a temporary revival key before the game communicates with the replacement server. According to the project’s documentation, the player’s real Ubisoft password never leaves their PC.
Future Development
EVO Redux is still an ongoing project, and its developers intend to restore more of the original online experience.
One of the main features still planned is online multiplayer, which would allow players to race against each other again.
The team also intends to add the remaining Xbox 360 DLC community tracks to Track Central in batches. The current documentation mentions approximately 3,700 additional tracks still to be added.
The project is not affiliated with Ubisoft or RedLynx and is developed independently by the community.
