Jan 2, 2024 · One of the first questions that many potential new sim racers ask, is what is the best sim racing game to start playing. In this guide, we will show you our recommendations for the best sim racing game. We’ve broken this guide down into segments including the best racing sim for PC, Xbox and PS5.
- Gran Turismo 7. Released: 2022. Gran Turismo 7, or GT7, was released in 2022 as a PlayStation exclusive. It tops our list of the best racing sims for PlayStation for many reasons, and is often compared to the Xbox/PC exclusive Forza series of games.
- Assetto Corsa. Released: 2016. Assetto Corsa is the most realistic racing game on our list, which makes it the ideal choice for those looking for more of a simulator type of game rather than a simcade experience.
- Project Cars 2. Released: 2017. Project Cars 2 comes in at second place. It topped our list of Xbox racing sims, and it performs very well on the PlayStation as well.
- F1 2022. Released: 2022. Up next we have the ultimate choice for fans of the fastest motorsport on the planet. This is the newest in the F1 line of games from Codemasters, and it’s packed full of features that make it one of the most fun sim racing games on the market.

- Forza Motorsport. I have a long history with Forza Motorsport, and the first game I ever played on my very own Xbox 360 was Forza Motorsport 3. Since that time, I have played every Forza game ever, except the very first one, as way back then I was a PlayStation boy through and through, and as far as I knew, Gran Turismo was as good as a racing game got.
- Project CARS. Project CARS is again a franchise that I’ve played from the very early days. The first game was a bit of a mess when it launched, if I’m honest, with issues using a controller to try and wrestle the fire breathing beasties around a track.
- Assetto Corsa. Assetto Corsa was a real learning curve for me – at least the first game was. One of the things I learned was that if using an Elite Controller, if you had the trigger locks on, as I had since I’d been playing a shooting game, it actually stops you revving your engine to its full extent.
- CarX Drift Racer Online. This is a bit out of left field, as CarX Drift Racer Online isn’t strictly a drift simulation game, but to be honest, of all the drift games I’ve played (and that’s pretty much every one that was every released, even the the top-down delights of Absolute Drift) it’s the most like real life.
Original Xbox One, yes, but X One X runs literally everything better (higher framerates and resolutions) than PS4 or PS4 pro. That's really just a technical spec issue.
4 days ago · Examples from the list include Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. Xbox Series X Arcade Racing Games: Focus on fast-paced, accessible gameplay with less emphasis on realism. Examples represented on the list include Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged and Nascar Arcade Rush.

Ac, acc, project cars 2, and wrc 9/dirt rally 2 are the most simmy available to us. (add the f1 game if that's considered sim...I'm not into formula, so I don't know if it's a sim or not. I think it is) My favorite game to play is forza 7, tbh.
