There's no shortage of quality racing games on Xbox One, but which ones are the best? Take a look at which racing games you need to play.
"The Best Racing Games on Xbox One" - The best racing games this gen - there it's correct now.

And that is where the pile of shame comes in to play as we get time to dedicate a bit of our gaming sessions to working through older games that we've been longing to complete. It's also a great time to check out those games which may have passed us by the first time around - games that you can probably now pick up on the cheap.
One of the best ways of getting hold of those is by checking out the Xbox Live Deals With Gold Sale titles, and once more we are being treated to a ton of newly discounted games. But which are the hot games on offer this week and which should you be ignoring? We take a look at the best and worst from the Xbox Live Deals With Gold sale of 8th-15th May 2018."
We were initially sceptical about Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. While we knew it would be fun to play, it wasn’t developed specifically for the Nintendo Switch. Instead, it was an enhanced port of the same Wii U game released four years ago. In truth, Nintendo could have easily ported Mario Kart 8 to the Switch without any enhancements or new content and it would have been a best-seller, but the developer took the time to improve aspects that were criticised in the original release. As a result, Mario 8 Deluxe was one of our highest rated games of 2017.
Battle Mode made a triumphant return with new bespoke arenas, and multiple power-ups can now be stored, adding a new tactical element which fundamentally changes the core gameplay. The novelty of playing a console-quality Mario Kart game on a handheld never loses its appeal, making it one of the most fun-packed split-screen multiplayer experiences available. Mixing reimagined fan favourites and new imaginatively-designed environments, the diverse track selection in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe also puts many current-generation racing games to shame. Each track is brought to life with vibrant visuals upscaled to 1080p resolution and a rock solid frame rate running at 60fps - it's a feast for the eyes, particularly in Handheld mode. If you own a Nintendo Switch, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe belongs in your collection. The standard has been set so high, it’s difficult to imagine where Nintendo will take the franchise next in the inevitable sequel.
