- iRacing. Release date: 2008 | Developer: iRacing Motorsport Simulations | iRacing. With its regular online racing leagues and meticulous car and track modelling, iRacing is as close to real racing as you can get on the PC.
- F1 23. Release date: 2023 | Developer: Codemasters | Steam. Rather than redefining what the F1 racing experience feels like, F1 23 reinforces what makes the series worth playing in the first place.
- Assetto Corsa Competizione. Release date: 2019 | Developer: Kunos Simulazioni | Steam. To be brutally honest, the sim racing world probably wasn’t on the edge of its seat for an officially licensed game of the Blancpain World Endurance series.

After nearly a decade since the last traditional, numbered GT installment – and arriving just in time for the 25th anniversary of Sony’s biggest first-party series – Gran Turismo 7 is a very welcome return to form.With iconic Gran Turismo tracks reappearing alongside the proper single-player career experience that the PS1 originally pioneered, Gran...
In conjunction with some of the biggest regulation shake-ups in the sport in four decades, Codemasters’ long-running F1 series received its own slightly-overdue facelift this year with some freshened-up presentation shipping alongside this season’s brand-new cars.With its top-notch graphics and handling, class-leading career mode (buoyed by new bud...
The follow-up to the incredible Horizon Chase Turbo hasn’t yet landed on consoles and PC, but it’s already found plenty of new fans via its exclusive release on Apple Arcade. Created by Brazilian studio Aquiris, Horizon Chase 2 is a love letter to ‘90s 16-bit and arcade racers like Top Gear and OutRun – complete with a kicking new soundtrack by leg...
Need for Speed Unbound has turned heads thanks to its injection of wild, anime-inspired animated flourishes– and the effects seem a little divisive overall – but the arcade racing underneath remains robust. Unbound is quite similar to 2019’s Need for Speed Heat despite the series switching garages from now-defunct Ghost Games to arcade racing exper...
With its final dance with the official WRC license before it clatters over to the crew at rival rally experts Codemasters, KT Racing pulled out all the stops with WRC Generations.Crammed with the most generous selection of stages we’ve ever seen in a rally game and a sizable selection of championship-winning cars from the 50-year history of the spo...
- THE BEST OPEN-WORLD RACING GAMES.
- Forza Horizon 5. Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC. It started out as a spin-off from the Forza Motorsport circuit-racing series, but Forza Horizon has now become the main event: a beautiful, uplifting series of racing games for everyone set across huge, real-world-inspired maps.
- Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered. PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch. Given that the series would soon return to its familiar slump, it's easy to forget that, for a brief period with Criterion at the reins, the Need for Speed games served up some of the best driving experiences around.
- Burnout Paradise Remastered. PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch. Before Criterion took over Need for Speed, it created the legendary arcade racing series Burnout, which took the elegant boosting and drifting of 90s classics like Ridge Racer and Daytona and reframed them for the 00s as a grimy contact sport - all screen shake, sideswipes and twisted metal.
- Pacific Drive. Pacific Drive trades in the veritable fleet of supercars that grace this list in favor of a battered old station wagon, but don’t let that put you off.
- Forza Motorsport. In what is technically the eighth game in the Forza Motorsport series, we go back to the beginning in a reboot of the series. Revisiting classic tracks from the Forza Motorsport games, the high-fidelity racing sim sees you drifting around Maple Valley and Le Mans in the highest definition graphics yet, with stunning ray tracing providing the most beautiful atmosphere, day or night.
- Dirt Rally 2. If you don’t know your pace notes from your drive shaft, Dirt Rally 2.0 is not the racing game for you. If you’re looking for a casual driving experience, just getting from A to B a bit faster than you would normally be able to on your daily commute, try Dirt 5 instead.
- Shift 2. Shift 2 might be the best compromise between realism and accessibility of any game on this list. It’s not just the way the car handles – menacing, but capable – but the way it consistently thinks about what players need to perform at a high level.
