DCL The Game It could be the game you were waiting for, a title that will allow you to become a true racing Drone Pilot, or at least serve as one more training ground. Although if there is something interesting about this proposal carried out by the Drone Champions League and THQ Nordic, it is that it will serve as a method to qualify for real competitions.
How to be a racing drone pilot
If you like the world of drones, you will agree with us that Flying a "conventional" drone like Mavic Mini is not the same as flying a racing drone. The first one is learned to fly and control in a couple of sessions, but racing drones need a lot more practice, have a good quick response capacity and adapt to the vision offered by the FPV glasses used during piloting.
Therefore, if you've always wanted to fly a racing drone but either didn't dare or didn't have a place to do it, plus you'd need the drone itself, this game may be what you've been waiting for. DCL The Game is a title developed by the Drone Champions League and THQ Nordic where you can fly racing drones and feel an experience identical to what pilots live in real life.
To do this, all you need is to have a Playstation 4, Xbox One or a PC or Mac and account on Steam. It is on these platforms that you can purchase and play this title that promises a hybrid experience between the real and the digital.
Why do we say these? Well, because the game not only gives you or seeks to give you the most fulfilling experience possible with respect to flying a real racing drone, it will also serve as a ranking method for the DCL Draft Selection. That is, where the participants who will officially run in the Drone Champions League competition are then chosen.

With attractive graphics, the best thing about the game is that the sensation of flying is very similar to what racing drone pilots experience when competing. Of course, as you can see in the video, you will have to practice well to be able to control the turns and other tricks at such speeds that you must perform if you want to get the best time and be competitive against the rest of the participants.
For you to achieve this, the game is divided into four difficulty levels. Thus, if you are new to flying drones, you will be able to get used to it little by little. As your skills improve, you will be able to level up and enjoy the 30 circuits with very varied routes and where the only thing in common is speed and pirouettes.
DCL The Game, price and availability
To finish curling the loop, PC and Mac players will be able to opt for real drone control controls. Thus, if the idea is to later jump to real races, they will feel the same experience. So, beyond a game for all those who want to fly racing drones, this THQ Nordic title is a good way to train without leaving home.
The game is available from today. The console version is priced at €39,99 and Steam (for PC and Mac) for €29,99.
