The long-awaited pure-blood HarmonyOS version of the QQ Speed mobile game experience server has officially opened pre-registration on Huawei’s HarmonyOS NEXT game center, IT Home reported on December 8th, 2024. This marks a significant step for Huawei’s gaming ecosystem and offers a nostalgic experience forfans of the original PC game. The current version listed is 1.0.0.0, although the official launch date remains unannounced.

Developed by the original team behind the PC version of QQ Speed, the mobile iteration utilizes cutting-edge rendering technology, promising a visually stunning experience. The developers emphasize the preservation of the original game’s feel, including the nuanced controls and advanced techniques that defined the PC version. Players can anticipate the return of beloved modes such as racing, item races, ranked matches, and story mode.
We’ve painstakingly recreated the feel of the original QQ Speed, a spokesperson for the development team (name withheldpending official confirmation) is quoted as saying in an internal memo obtained by IT Home. We believe this HarmonyOS version will capture the hearts of both veteran players and newcomers alike.
The pre-registration process on the HarmonyOS NEXT game center automatically enables launch reminders and WLAN silent installation. This means userswill receive notifications upon the game’s release and the game will automatically install over Wi-Fi.

IT Home will continue to monitor developments and provide updates as they become available.

This release represents a strategic move by Tencent and Huawei to solidify their position in the mobile gaming market. By leveraging the popularity of a well-established franchise and tailoring it specifically for HarmonyOS, they aim to attract asubstantial user base within Huawei’s ecosystem. The emphasis on preserving the original game’s core mechanics suggests a focus on retaining the loyalty of existing fans while simultaneously attracting new players through improved visuals and a dedicated platform. The success of this venture will depend on factors such as server stability, in-app purchases,and the overall user experience. The lack of a confirmed release date and the uncertainty surrounding access methods suggest a cautious approach to managing expectations and ensuring a smooth launch.
