With the Dirt series pushing deeper into the arcade end of the racing sim spectrum, I was glad when WRC 10 debuted earlier this year to scratch my itch for rallying realism. Note that Forza Horizon 5 is available as part of the Xbox's Game Pass subscription.
With over 500 cars to customize and modify, hundreds of miles of road and trail courses, and a large online community, if you pick up just one racing game for the Xbox, this should be it. For example, I know plenty of Forza fans who aren't great racers, but lose themselves for hours just in the photo mode or livery creator. And players have more freedom than ever to explore only the race types, vehicle classes and elements of the game that they like. Like the previous Forza Horizon titles, Horizon 5 is a massive, open-world love letter not just to racing but to car culture and all things automotive. Thanks to Horizon 5's new dynamic weather system, players can now blast through sandstorms in the desert before traversing into dense wetlands or the top of an active volcano, sometimes all in the same mega race. I've noted which ones are available for no extra cost with Microsoft's excellent Game Pass subscription, but games do come and go from that service.Ī worthy follow-up to my previous pick for the best Xbox driving game, Forza Horizon 5 moves its automotive playground to the beautiful and diverse biomes of Mexico. I've played all of these games on the newest Xbox Series X, but all of them are also playable on the Xbox Series S and are backwards compatible with the previous Xbox One generation consoles. This list is by no means exhaustive, rather it's a collection of just the best driving and racing games for the Xbox family of consoles that I've personally played and enjoyed.
Even the subcategories have subcategories off-road driving games, for example, range from high-speed rally racers to wacky demolition derbies to super-slow truck and hauling sims.
Meanwhile, arcade racers place more emphasis on fun, style, accessibility and the feeling of speed rather than a strictly accurate depiction of racing reality. Hardcore racing sims can be a great way to familiarize yourself with a new race track, test your skills against digital and real players and, for many of us, are the closest we'll get to testing the limits of rare and exotic cars. As a category, racing games are more diverse than you might think.
