How to Download CarX Street When It‘s Not Available In Your Country

Hey there fellow racing enthusiast! If you‘re like me, you‘ve probably heard about the exciting new mobile racing game CarX Street and have been eagerly waiting for it to launch in your country.

Unfortunately, the game is still in a limited beta release only available in certain regions at the moment. But don‘t worry – with the right workaround, you can get CarX Street installed on your phone no matter where you live.

In this detailed guide, I‘ll explain exactly why CarX Street has a restricted availability right now, and walk you through how to successfully download it on both Android and iOS devices.

Trust me, with these methods you‘ll be racing and customizing cars in CarX Street in no time. So buckle up and let‘s get started!

Why You Can‘t Officially Download CarX Street In Your Country Yet

Before we get into the workarounds, let‘s talk about why CarX Street has limited availability. The developers, CarX Technologies, have chosen to do a staged launch for their game.

This means they are slowly rolling out the game region-by-region to control the influx of new players. CarX Street is currently only officially available in the following countries:

  • Russia
  • Ukraine
  • Belarus

This soft launch allows the developers to stress-test the game in a smaller market first. They can identify and fix any bugs, ensure their servers can handle traffic, and refine the mechanics before launching worldwide.

It‘s a very common practice in the mobile gaming industry to do a smaller beta release first. That way when the global launch happens, the game will hopefully be polished and stable enough to handle an influx of new players.

So in summary:

  • CarX Street is still in beta testing
  • Only released in a few countries initially
  • Global launch will happen later after testing is complete

The good news is that the beta testing period usually doesn‘t last too long – a few months at most. And there are ways for you to get access even if you‘re not in the eligible countries, which I‘ll explain now.

Method 1: Download the APK File (For Android Devices)

APK refers to the file format that Android OS uses to install apps. By downloading the APK file for CarX Street, you can manually install it on your Android phone bypassing the Play Store location restrictions.

Here are the steps to download and install the CarX Street APK:

Step 1) Enable APK installs

  • Open your Android phone‘s settings
  • Go to Safety & Security > Install Unknown Apps
  • Enable "Allow from this source" for your browser app

This allows your browser to install APKs.

Step 2) Download the CarX Street APK file

  • Open your browser and go to a reputable APK provider like APKMirror, APKPure, or APKCombo.
  • Download the latest version of the CarX Street APK file
  • The file should begin downloading to your device storage

Step 3) Install the APK

  • Once download is complete, open your Android file manager
  • Locate and tap on the CarX Street APK file
  • Tap Install when prompted
  • Accept any installation warnings and tap Install Anyway
  • Wait for the installation process to complete

After that, you‘ll be able to find CarX Street in your apps menu and launch it! The whole process should only take a few minutes.

Method 2: Change Your App Store Region (For iOS devices)

To download region-locked games from the App Store, you can change your account‘s country/region which will switch the App Store to that location.

Here are the steps to change your App Store region and download CarX Street:

Step 1) Open App Store settings

  • Launch the App Store on your iOS device
  • Tap your profile icon in the top right corner
  • Scroll down and tap on your Apple ID

Step 2) Change country/region

  • Tap on Country/Region
  • Tap Change Country or Region
  • Search for and select Ukraine (or Russia/Belarus)
  • Tap Agree to confirm region change

Step 3) Re-enter password

  • You‘ll be prompted to enter your App Store password to complete the region change
  • Enter password and tap OK

Once the change is successful, your App Store will reload with Ukraine as the new region.

Step 4) Download CarX Street

  • You can now search for and download CarX Street from the Ukraine App Store
  • The game will begin installing like normal

And that‘s it! You can now play the game as normal. Optionally change your region back afterward if you want.

Should You Use a VPN Instead to Download CarX Street?

Before we wrap things up, some of you may be wondering about using a VPN service to download region-locked games like CarX Street instead of manually changing regions or sideloading APKs.

A VPN (virtual private network) allows you to mask your device‘s location and IP address by routing your traffic through a server in another country. So theoretically, you could connect through a Russia VPN server and have access to the Russian Play Store and games.

However, using a VPN to bypass regional restrictions often doesn‘t work reliably, for a few reasons:

  • App stores can detect and block most VPN IP ranges
  • Your payment method country still needs to match the store country
  • Downloads tend to be very slow due to VPN data routing

VPNs are best for protecting your online privacy and security. For accessing geo-restricted apps, the region change or APK download methods are simpler with higher success rates.

Final Thoughts

And there you have it! With this guide, you now have all the tools you need to successfully download and dive into the exciting world of CarX Street no matter where you live.

While the limited beta release is frustrating, it likely means the game will be more refined once it fully launches worldwide. For now, unleash those high-powered cars on the streets and enjoy being an early adopter with these handy tips and tricks.

Thanks for reading, drive safe, and hopefully see you on the track soon!
