10 Best Racing Games for XBox One

Racing games have come a long way since Gran Turismo on the original PlayStation, or even Super Mario Kart on the SNES. Nowadays, racing games feature extremely realistic and stunning graphics, where screenshots could be mistaken for real life imagery. If you own an Xbox One and looking for some good racing games, there are plenty of options to choose from. Although you won’t get access to PlayStation’s exclusive Gran Turismo series, Microsoft has its own winner with the Forza lineup of games.

But we know that not everyone is a fan of realistic driving simulator games. In this list, we cover the top 10 best Xbox One racing games currently available, whether you’re a fan of Formula 1, NASCAR, going off-road, or even demolition derbies.

[DantesRetrospectiveOfLife]

"if you want a kid friendly racing game" give the kid some forza if he likes cars he will appreciate that a whole lot more!

[rocknrollcomedyguy]

Nice to see Burnout on this list. I love messin around on that game. Showtime is so fun and if you time it right you can wreck a whole block

[ScrawnyRonnie]

Wreckfest is awesome. Love me some demos

[happinessst]

WRECKFEST is the FUNNEST most UNIQUE racing game out there and that's what games suppose to be, FUN! Every other racing games are just your normal, plain racing! It should be in the TOP 3 FOR SURE!!!

V Rally 4 is an underated masterpiece for solo play! Rally cross, hillclimb, buggies, Drift, shame it had an iffy release, Try it if you havnt its definately a fun game amd unlike WRC with 20 sameish hatchbacks, it has great variety of cars/trucks....(and tracks)

I saw your list of top 5 racing sims. 4 out of 5 weren't even sims my dude. 🙄

Well done! Thank you for acknowledging that car people also love good racing games! Much respect! So glad I subscribed! My only issue with this generation of game consoles is the lack of ability to actually play the game off of the game disc. I have a few racing games installed on my Xbox One X along with everything else and I am already out of space :( In addition to the 1 TB in the Xbox One X I also have a 3 TB external drive. The Nintendo Switch may not be as powerful as the Xbox One X or PS4 but at least for the most part you can actually run the games from the cartridge. Again thanks for this list and keep up the great work. The ability to race the real world Honda Civic Type R I actually own in Forza 7 is an awesome thing and best of all I don't have to worry about washing it or cleaning break dust off my wheels or looking for a bottle of touch up paint after a spirited drive. BTW I have to give a shout out to Project Cars 2 and the Xbox 360 game Grid 2 which is backwards compatible on the Xbox One. These are also great games worth playing.

If you want a nascar game i advise that you wait heat 5 version is coming out very soon

[wickedkshitiz]

You should have included dirt rally 2.0, I believe it better than gravel, what do guys think?

[KoreanDelinquent]

Thanks bro I’ve been trying to look for wreckfast but didn’t know the name

[La-ytwr]

Forza is by far my favorite racing game especially Forza Motorsport I love how realistic the game is.

Best racing games for xbox one ( I have pretty much all the racing games of the last 15 years) so :

SIM racing
1. Asetto Corsa competizione
Some frame rate problems on old gen xbox one /one x, but the physics/tyres models /set-up/ settings are by far the most advanced ever made (for console) , the best SIM ever made for console
2. Asseto Corsa
run smoother on consoles, way more variety of cars, f1, gt, coupes, lmp1, hot hatch, sports cars, ( acc have only gt4, gt3 cars but they are gorgeous)
Stronger force feedback than ACC console version
Amazing physics
3. Snowrunner, yes not racing but the best off road SIM ever made
4. F1 2020, not really pure SIM but pretty much very close, great f1 game
5.wrc 9, best rally game

SIM cade , not pure sims but good physics not really arcade a 50 50 mix of both worlds

1. Forza 7
2. Project cars 3

Arcade
1.forza horizon 4, the king of them all, pretty much the best free roaming arcade (not really pure arcade because has very nice physics and handling)
2. Dirt 5
3. Nfs heat
4.ctr
5. Monster truck Championship

Best moto games :
1. Ride 4, one of the best moto game ever Made
2.trials rising, by far the best trial game ever Made, gorgeous game, must have 10/10 game
3. Moto gp 2021
4.tt the isle of man 2

Why can't there be a new speed racer game it has a lot of potential just like wreakfest

[etatem]

The only thing i dont like about fh4 is that the sound of the cars is similar (not every car but the Most)

[k.r.]

People are seriously comparing GT and FH. This is like comparing GTA and Just Cause, which are two different game concepts.

[malinchoneska]

I'm back to gaming and looking to race/crash. It's been almost 10 years and I missed so much. I'm ready fir online action.

[Darkmanx]

I'm sure Project Cars 2 should be on this list somewhere. It doesn't get realer than that.

[mikche]

I have forza 7 incredible game beautiful. I've been playing Xbox for years now and never liked racing game's but I'm totally hooked on that game.
