5 Best PS4 Driving Games of 2023
We uncover the five best PS4 driving games of 2023. Each game includes a video, our comments, and a professional review. Prepare to give those thumbs a workout! What do I need to get started? Console gaming is the most convenient plug-and-play solution to hitting the track and delivering you straight into the action. Firstly, (as you may expect) you need to purchase or own a PS4 and any modern TV capable of running HDMI. If you’re looking to go down the VR route, you’ll also need to invest in the Playstation-specific PSVR headset. You then must decide whether you will likely play single-player, online, or split-screen multiplayer. If you intend to play split-screen, invest in a second controller before you start. The positive with console gaming is that you won’t need to worry about upgrading your system for new games. You can guarantee it will run smoothly if it is released for your console. However, if it’s not released for your console, you may need to consider upgrading to the latest generation. We feel that driving games are best on a steering wheel and pedal setup, which can be purchased reasonably at the lower end of the market, such as the Logitech G29, right through to ultra-realistic, yet expensive, brands such as Fanatec. A recommended cheaper alternative is to use the joypad that came with your console, as these are often good enough for basic racing. Thankfully, after testing, we have gotten away without scraped knuckles or oil stains to bring you our list of the 5 Best PS4 Driving Games of 2023. 5 – Trackmania Turbo If it’s fun and entertainment you’re looking for, then Trackmania Turbo is the perfect thrill ride for gamers who like some insanity added to the mix in their racing games. After being a PC-only game for quite some time, console users are now welcome to join in the fun with this latest edition. For those new to the series, it’s a fantastic alternative to serious sim racing, which will undoubtedly provide you and your friends with hours of entertainment. Trackmania Turbo review Gamespot’s Jason D’Aprile went thrillseeking to deliver his verdict: “Trackmania Turbo, has hit the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and the result is as fun as fans of the series could have hoped. The game’s unique focus on time trial racing gives it a distinctly refreshing feel from the Forzas and Need for Speeds of the world.” “The game constantly lets you know where you stand and frequently restarting the race entirely after a mishap is a common, and necessary, tactic to stay on top. The ghostly nature of multiplayer manages to alleviate any frustration from vehicle collisions while still maintaining a constant sense of competition. This system also allows for an absurd number of players to be involved in a single online tournament–even on launch day, there were easily 70+ cars in each race.” Read the full Trackmania Turbo review 4 – F1 22 Nothing quite matches the high-adrenaline…

Real Racing 3 Trackmania Turbo Rocket League Forza Horizon 5 Mario Kart 8 We all know that women can be just as talented as men when it comes to being behind the wheel – for example, did you know that legendary female driver Michèle Mouton won 162 stages in the World Rally Championship? Pretty impressive, huh? The great thing is that there’s no reason why girls can’t compete with guys when it comes to driving games, too! We’ve created this list with some of the popular games girls enjoy playing, where they’re known for often beating their male friends! What do I need to get started? We have tried to keep the list as varied as possible so you can choose whatever platform best suits your needs.

With a mixture of gravel, snow, ice, and sand, there’s sure to be a challenging terrain where you can rule supreme. DiRT 5 covers all sorts of off-road disciplines, not purely rallying, and offers a huge variety for girly thrill-seekers to get their fix! DiRT 4 review Polygon’s Owen S. Good delivered his verdict on the game: “If Dirt 5 is an homage to Evolution’s best work, then it’s a beautiful one.” “Dirt 5 is just enough MotorStorm, in other words, enough to remind me that my current video game motorsports diet of technical setups and time trials needs a big scoop of ice cream, too.” Read the full DiRT 5 review 8 – Drift Hunters Platform(s): PC (Free browser game), Android, iOS If you want to get some practice in while you’re on the move or have a few spare moments, then Drift Hunters is a great opportunity to quickly learn car control for those secret practice sessions your boyfriend doesn’t need to know about!

The Best Driving Games For Xbox One
Driving games are not just the preserve of PCs and mobile apps. They are also available at a reasonable price on game consoles. Below we list the best driving games for Xbox One: 1. Assetto Corsa In this addictive racing simulator, you can work on your lap times in flashy sports cars like Porsches and Lamborghinis. The smooth handling and authentic sounds will whet your appetite as you accelerate around the Highlands racetrack. 2. DiRT Rally 2.0 Although we’ve now treated to the arrival of DiRT 5, it’s DiRT Rally 2.0 that continues to keep us coming back for more. With a sublime combination of incredible graphics and physics, each sector you pass in DiRT Rally 2.0 will make you feel like the next Colin McRae or leave you swearing at your screen. The game is undoubtedly one of the most challenging we’ve ever played. Still, anyone who’s ever had the opportunity to experience getting behind the wheel of a rally car will know exactly how hard it truly is. If you think you’ve got what it takes and are willing to spend countless hours refining your skills on some of the most demanding courses we’ve ever driven, DiRT Rally 2.0 is the ultimate driving game challenge. When you eventually nail it, this game is SO damn satisfying! 3. F1 22 The latest game in the official F1 gaming series certainly doesn’t disappoint.

Forza Horizon 5 The ultimate open-world driving experience for Xbox gamers is arguably from Playground Games, with the latest and greatest version of their hugely-popular Horizon series. As a Microsoft exclusive, the game is only available for Xbox and PC gamers, who can share the game cross-platform, but Playstation owners miss out on this incredible experience.

7 Best Driving Games For PC
We dig deep and come up with the 7 best driving games for PC. Want to see what makes our list? Read on. It comes as no surprise that nothing quite gives the thrill of strapping yourself into the driving seat of a race car, starting your engine, and pushing cars to their absolute limits. WRC 7 Project CARS 2 F1 22 Forza Motorsport 7 DiRT Rally Forza Horizon 5 Assetto Corsa As much as most people would love to be able to do this every day, unless you have an unlimited budget and own a racetrack, then chances are you are looking for the next best thing. PC gaming is arguably the closest option out there, and with all sorts of gaming rigs available to emulate reality, just about anything is possible. What do I need to get started? Well, obviously a PC is the first vital step here! With the convenient ability to upgrade necessary components when required rather than buy a completely new console at each release, gamers often favor PCs. Before buying, ensure that your PC meets the minimum system requirements to save disappointment when playing your brand-new game for the first time. We feel that racing games are best on a steering wheel and pedal setup, which can be purchased reasonably at the lower end of the market, right through to ultra-realistic brands such as Fanatec. A recommended cheaper alternative is to use a joypad, with many people opting to use the Xbox remote. For viewing upgrades, some people opt for a triple-monitor setup. In contrast, others push the boundaries and step into the VR opportunity, which comes at a price but offers the ultimate experience. Thankfully, after testing, we have gotten away without scraped knuckles or oil stains to bring you our list of the 7 Best Driving Games for PC. 7 – WRC 7 The latest official game of the World Rally Championship has arrived to compete alongside the highly acclaimed DiRT Rally and DiRT 4. Causing somewhat of an argument amongst fans of the titles, it appears to be down to personal preference as to what game best suits your loose gravel needs! This is undoubtedly a game for those who are patient and willing to perfect their skills on varied surfaces, expect to end up in a few ditches on the road to progress! WRC 7 review Gamespot’s James Swinbanks shared his thoughts: “In a time where video games focus on making themselves pop with fancy special effects and extra side content, WRC 7 takes a more direct approach to both its presentation and gameplay. All the real-life teams, cars and sponsors are represented across the three tiers of competition; Junior WRC, WRC2 and the WRC, giving you the full gamut of options to choose from when taking on a single rally stage, an entire three day event or a full custom championship.” “For all its minor faults and bare-bones nature in comparison to others, WRC 7 is still an enjoyable,…
