Maybe it's just me. But It feels like every racing game we got in 2024 was a flop in some way, and with the news of the crew 1 going down, and the recent confirmation that there will be no more F1 Manager games I feel like this small corner of gaming gets less and less love each year.
I was really looking forward to Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown, and whilst I did 100% it, the launch issues, connectivity, AI, lack of content have really cemented this game launch as one of the worst racing game launches to date. We are currently at the second major patch since the 13th Sept, and the game still feels like it needs a complete overhaul. WRC feels hollow and cheap with its battle-pass, NFS has been a dumpster fire since payback, ACC has been steadily losing players since April 24' and the F1 games feel like cash grabs more than games each year.
We've got a bit of light at the end of the tunnel, as 2025 is bringing us Assetto Corsa EVO, Wreckfest 2, Wreckreation, and content updates to Test Drive. There are other games on the horizon I've missed but I'm just not too confident in how they will perform. And of course I can always go back and play the great racing games I currently own but I've been craving a new change of pace.
How do you guys feel about the state of racing games in 2024? Do you think things are going to get better in the new year? What other racing games are on the way that you are looking forward to? I'd love to know what you guys think about the state of racing games in 2024.
