And if you take your racing very seriously and own a PS4 or an Xbox One, then why not take a look at our racing wheel guides for PS4 steering wheels, Xbox steering wheels, or PC steering wheels.

So there they are - the best modern racing games money can buy.

If you're into something more realistic, Forza Motorsport 7 or GT Sport is there waiting for you, but if you just want to jump into the fastest car you can find and have a wonderful time whipping it through a diverse array of locations at speed while surrounded by scores of other players, then you won't find a better racing game than Forza Horizon 5. With its bold, ever-evolving open world, finely-tuned racing mechanics, absurd selection of vehicles, and truly breathtaking vistas, Forza Horizon 5 demonstrates what can occur when new technologies collides with careful iteration. Releasing in November 2021 for Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC, Forza Horizon 5 saw Playground Games whisk us away to a fictionalised representation of Mexico for the ultimate arcade racing experience.
