As the content of the game was centered on killing humanoid figures, it attracted a great deal of controversy. In 1976, newspapers and civic organizations began to attack the game for facilitating violence in virtual form.
Many at Exidy attribute a large jump in sales for the company to this increase in national media for Death Race, even though most of the coverage was negative. By the end of 1977 the game no longer graced headlines.
