Instead of grumbling about the delayed Forzas and Gran Turismos this year, thank the racing gods for Codemasters and DIRT 5.
With the DualSense's adaptive triggers, racing games feel right at home on the PS5, but which are the best racing games?
Man I wish arcade racers would make a comeback. Racing games have become so boring if you're not into SIM or semi-Sims. That isn't discrediting SIMs, I'd just rather get chased by police, ram people off the road, drift at impossible speeds. The Crew 2 and NFS are just a bit average at best.
All available January 4.
Yes I'm very excited for Deep Rock Galactic myself! I tried it on PC last year and fell in love with the gameplay and silliness. PlayStation is my main platform though so this will be when I really get deeper into the game and mechanics. Very excited! Hope PlayStation players find themselves loving it like me. Also excited to try Dirt 5 in 120fps cuz I just need more games running at that, it's so wonderful in Borderlands 3 for example.
Looking forward to feeling the road deform under my thumbs in Dirt 5. I loved it on XB so playing it on PS to earn some trophies will be just as fun if not more thanks to the DS.
What are the best racing games? From Gran Turismo to Mario Kart, here are the best driving games you can play right now.
Best racing game last gen, for me, was the excellent Driveclub, without a single doubt. Flawed launch perhaps, but they more than made up for that.
Dirt 2 GOTY (the base-game was a bit too empty, but the GOTY is packed with content) also deserves a mention, for fans of the genre.
More of an arcade racer, that's what I love.
