Racing (258 programs)
Pros: A vast open-world full of things to do. Excellent gameplay that will please all sorts of players. Allows online cross-play. Great graphics on the Xbox One. Constant updates keep the game fresh and engaging.
Cons: Sometimes its online mode fails to connect.
Pros: Impressive textures and graphics. O'ahu setting offers a nice change of pace. Nice alternative to Forza Horizon.
Cons: O'ahu is not recreated on a 1:1 basis. Lacks some of The Crew 1 & 2's originality.
Pros: Open-world city with mission-driven progression. Supports four-player local split-screen and online multiplayer. Twelve melee weapons and over forty battle moves.
Cons: Criticized for poor handling physics. Technical glitches and lack of polish reported. Developer closed in 2024, limiting future fixes.
Pros: Official 2018 license with real teams and vehicles. Large, exploration-friendly open world that encourages route choice. Navigation-focused design rewards planning and map-reading. On-foot repairs and rescue mechanics add tactical depth.
Cons: Steep learning curve from the Road Book navigation system. Technical roughness and physics inconsistencies reported at launch. Niche appeal, less suited for casual arcade racing fans.
Pros: Powder-focused physics delivers specialized deep-snow behavior. Sandbox freeriding promotes exploration rather than lap racing. Online sessions let riders explore together in a shared world. Customizable sleds allow handling to be tailored to player taste.
Cons: Steep learning curve requires sustained practice. Console editions, including Xbox One, are announced but not yet released. Experience favors patient players over quick pick-up sessions.
Pros: CarX Physics Engine 2.0 models tire-to-surface interaction precisely. Deep mechanical tuning covers suspension, engine, pressures, and alignment. Extensive visual options, over 1,000 parts and a full vinyl editor. Real-time multiplayer supports up to 16 players and tandem drifting.
Cons: Steeper progression required to unlock higher-tier vehicles. Online multiplayer needs Game Pass Core for access. Fictionalized car names replace official manufacturer badges.
