You can also play these games on Xbox and a . powerful gaming laptop 1. Gran Turismo Sport Gran Turismo Sport is a lot like the past GT titles. It is a driving simulation game and is famed for its accuracy.  You need to time your gears shifts perfectly, or you may lose speed resulting in slower lap times. There are loads of cars to choose from and lots of tracks (dozens of new tracks and classics). You can participate in races against a friend or against the AI (I find it more fun to race against the AI because if you win, you get rewards that add up). There are several modes to choose from: Arcade, Campaign (which has 3 sub-modes), Single Race, etc. GT Sport is an exceptional game. It’s the best-looking PS4 game to date, with staggering levels of detail in its cars and tracks. It’s also the best handling racing title I have ever played. But it’s not all visual and handling prowess: GT Sport delivers on its promise – like you may have never seen before – of fully sporting online motorsports. It’s a phenomenal achievement from Polyphony Digital on PS4, one that’ll go down as an instant classic for fans of the genre. In Gran Turismo Sport, you get to make your favorite cars towards a more racing-oriented concept, using various livery creations. 4 2.

Throw in solid gameplay, a meaty portion of beautiful visuals, and an outstanding soundtrack, and Forza Horizon 4 is almost perfect. 3.  DiRT Rally 2.0 DiRT Rally 2.0 takes you to the edge of your seat. It's the most authentic and thrilling rally game ever made. Your love for everything DiRT Rally will know no bounds. But with more rally content than ever before and a host of technical and gameplay improvements, this new entry in the series makes this release a must-have for every gamer that enjoyed the first one. It perfectly captures that white knuckle feeling of racing on the edge as you hurtle along dangerous roads, knowing that one crash could irreparably harm your stage time.

Project CARS  2 ** Driving a pack of cars around a circuit is all well and good, but Project CARS 2 allows you to keep yourself entertained with your automotive obsession in many other ways. You can race go-karts in the rain and drift your way around gravel tracks. It is the variety that makes this one of the most exciting racers available. Driving on track or dirt, fending off against a rival, or taking on adventure challenges, the variety of motorsport flavors on offer in Project CARS 2 is startling for a single game. Project Cars 2 is crammed with a wide variety of exciting content: from standard races to unique challenges, to multiplayer and beyond —  behind the wheel of race cars, karts and motorcycles —  on tracks designed to test your mettle on every surface type. 5. F1 2021 F1 2021 retains the solid foundation of its preceding versions and shows the series continuing to improve in many areas. Several camera angles are available, and AI-controlled drivers can now be driven manually in bumper-to-bumper sprints. Tires degrade over time as they're overheated, forcing drivers to adapt their driving style as rubber starts to melt and smoke. Weather conditions such as fog or rain have a dramatic impact on how a track will play out. It can even result in crashes - such as those caused by aquaplaning when standing water is encountered at high speeds. Wrapping Up What started as a collection of cheeky, excellent, and understated racing games on current consoles has become a full-blown genre renaissance. There's more choice than ever before, where the likes of Dirt Rally are pushing the racing genre in refreshing directions. And, Forza Horizon 4 is putting on one of gaming's best performing series. Rally fans enjoy more power over their co-driver with DiRT Rally, while newcomers to the genre are getting an arcade-style introduction with Project Cars. Little by little, even Gran Turismo took lessons from Shift 2 Unleashed to evolve its handling mechanics for this generation.
