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. 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.
And players have more freedom than ever to explore only the race types, vehicle classes and elements of the game that they like. 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. With over 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. Players looking for a more serious racing sim should look to the more mature member of the Forza franchise.
Where Horizon focuses on car culture and, at times, cartoonish street driving, Motorsport is all about real circuit racing on real tracks from around the world.
Forza Motorsport 7 is an older title, launching in , and a next-generation sequel is in the works for the new Xbox Series S and Series X consoles, but with an unbelievable cars to drive, modify and customize, and 30 tracks, each with multiple configurations, the Xbox One's premier racing franchise still manages to feel fresh. Want to get a taste of the most realistic GT racing sim the Xbox platform has to offer? Look no further than Assetto Corsa Competizione.
This hardcore racing sim is laser-focused on the world of the Blancpain GT World Challenge, putting you in the driver's seat of real racing cars from the and series, complete with authentic liveries. Drop right into the championship, work your way up through the ranks in the career mode or head online to run wheel-to-wheel against players from around the world. Assetto Corsa is a challenging sim and its steering model and racing physics are extremely realistic -- so much that it can be frustrating to play with a controller's thumbsticks.
You'll definitely want to get set up with a good force-feedback racing wheel and maybe also a racing sim cockpit for maximum enjoyment. Players looking for a Forza alternative that plays nicely with a controller should perhaps check out Grid Autosport.
The latest title in Codemasters' F1 franchise builds on last season's entry with new tracks, updated cars and a new My Team mode that lets you build and grow your own F1 franchise, rather than play one of the established teams. Got a friend who's also an F1 nut? Play together in the new two-player career mode as teammates or fierce rivals. The most interesting addition to F1 is the new Braking Point mode. If you're a fan of the documentary series Drive to Survive or films like Rush, F1 's Braking Point is definitely worth experiencing.
This thrilling arcade racer stars the miniature machines from the Hot Wheels series of diecast toys, which you can drift, boost and jump around wild courses made of familiar orange track. Hot Wheels Unleashed is easy to approach for racers of all ages and skill levels.
Kids can enjoy unlocking wacky racers like the Tricera-Truck or the Buns of Steel burger car. Meanwhile, there's still plenty of fun, challenge and nostalgia for adults. Plus, there's a highly flexible course editor that lets players build and share crazy courses and challenges. 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.
WRC 10 improves over its predecessor with more cars, locations and ways to play, including a new 50th anniversary mode that celebrates and recreates great moments from World Rally Championship history dating back to its inception in The sim now features 19 locations and environments -- breaking out to over rally stages to master -- and 22 legendary and historical cars from Mitsubishi, Peugeot, Subaru, Toyota and more. What it lacks in horsepower it more than makes up for with innovative gameplay and surprising multiplayer chops.
Online matches pit you against 49 other players — each one racing to be the first to the finish line. One of the few off-road racing games available on Xbox Series X, Dirt 5 differentiates itself from the competition with arcade-inspired gameplay and several over-the-top game modes.
Best of all, Dirt 5 supports split-screen play for a bit of couch co-op. Best of all, the game features an open-ended campaign that ensures everything you do is contributing to your overall progress. Arguably the best racing game on Xbox Series X, Forza Horizon 5 not only hits the sweet spot between fun and realistic controls but boasts some of the best visuals on the platform — regardless of genre. Or, if you like your racing games to buttery smooth, you can turn on the Hz mode for a true next-generation experience.
Impeccable graphics aside, WRC 9 is without a doubt the best entry in the series. The storied rally racer brings more content than ever to Xbox Series X, including three new rallies, 35 special stages, a completely reworked sound system — so your engines sound louder than ever — and the option to create your own custom championships. Sometimes the best part of a racing game is pulling off impossible stunts — or crashing spectacularly in the process.
Recently upgraded for Xbox Series X, Wreckfest is less of a racing game and more of a demolition derby. There are practically no rules during Wreckfest tournaments — so do whatever it takes to make it across the finish line intact. Seizure warnings Photosensitive seizure warning.
