Best Racing Games on PS5

Obviously GT7 is at number 1, but I do like Dirt 5, Wreckfest and Grid Legends

Always going to be 1 winner here and rightly so it is a superb game.

I really must give Wreckfest a go it looks like great fun and it is in my library from PS+ but never got around to it!

been playing hot wheels with my son for the last week awesome game 👌 wreckfest is also awesome to

Art of Rally is highly recommended. Great gameplay, replayability, stylish visuals and a thumping soundtrack.

@Mostik Got a platinum on it. Absolutely hilarious playing it with friends

@Animegamerweeb I like making my own tracks.

Even though its not a ps5 game my personal fave is drive club..i really like dirt 5 and i really like hot wheels unleashed as well..wreckfest is really good too but even though i've only played gran turismo on my mates ps5 for about an hour i can see that being a contender to knock the mighty drive club off my number 1 spot..

Circuit Superstars needs to be on here.

Anyone who remembers the classic top down Super Sprint games...this is that, for modern hardware.

I thought the world was under agreement that Gran Turismo 7 was now the worst racing game ever? 😅

@Animegamerweeb this may come as a surprise to you but when you're commenting on platform owned by a comapny you're not actually entitled to express your opinion, whatever it may be.

For me, Gran Turismo 7 isn’t just the best racing game on PS5, it’s the best game, period.

@The_Pixel_King the best game? Not even close. Not even top 100.

@BeerIsAwesome It's a lot better with the newest updates.

Just tried the racing wheel today with wreckfast, dirt 5 and dirt rally 2. IT is really not easy using it. Maybe I don't have a proper chair. Better to just use the controller.

@The_Pixel_King true. In my opinion the only way a racing game will ever compete for best game ever is if it were a full-on VR experience.

@mrbone I ordered a steering wheel stand from eBay. Really cheap but very good

@GoodGame Please give me a link. I will look into it. My other problem is I don't tend to use those brake/ slowing down etc. lol

@mrbone Here you go

GT 7 <3
Soooo Good

@BeerIsAwesome revolt on social media is fast these days
From absolute worst to one of the best in a couple of days!

@Mostik try it. Wreckfest is a lot of fun!

These guys have obviously never played Assetto Corsa Competizione - it should be second or third.

2 WRC games and no Assetto Corsa Competizione...

Criminal WRC 10 isn’t in the top 3! And what’s WRC 9 doing more higher ranked as the handling in 10 is a step up!

@Quintumply I hereby change my "these guys" to mean these PushSquare readers.

Seriously though, everyone needs to experience ACC with a wheel. It is a truly stellar, white knuckle, heart pounding experience. The force feedback detail is incredible.

@GoodGame Playing GT7 — or any other sim-style driving game — with a wheel & pedals takes the immersion to a higher level. If budget and space permits, I highly recommend.

@ILikeStake @BARO08 Agree that the omission of ACC on this list is a shame. Although I haven't played it since GT7 came out.😂 Wish the ACC update didn't release the same time as GT...

I saw the headline and came on here to check if Assetocorsa Competizione (ACC) got a mention.

I love racing games of all types but ACC is an unbelievable experience (just the sound alone is worth a mention).

However, I still play Driveclub VR imagining what a fully licensed F1 game in VR would be like.

@Northern_munkey Drive Club was one of my first PS5 games along with Star Wars Battlefront and wow what a racing game! I still play on PS5 and have cars to unlock

Playing a lot of racing games the last 2-3 years on different consoles:

Circuit Superstars (XSX) (not the most easy one but when it clicks, it's very enjoyable)
FH5 (XSX)
Grid Legends (XSX completed - visuals are more than okay imo)
Wreckfest PS5 upgrade (PS5)
Dirt 5 (XSX)
Hotwheels Unleashed (XSX)
Horizon Chase Turbo - Senna DLC (NS)
Hotshot Racing (NS)

Forza Motorsport 7 (XSX)
GT7 (a lot of nostalgia but with a controller not the best/most fun for me (except DrLic) (PS5)
Project Cars 3 (XSX - a bit of a weird one but okay)
F1 2021 (XSX)
Rally Rush Origins (NS)
Real Racing 3 (iPad)
Art Of Rally (XSX - need to pick it back up)

@eagletrippin
I imagine you are right. Proper steering has completely changed the game for me and I discovered it via trying gyro steering in the options. They've done an incredible job with this and once you've had a couple of races and got your brain tuned in the level of control of your vehicle is hugely improved.
I can only imagine having more control via pedals is also liberating!

How on earth in WRC10 as low as it is. 1, its better than WRC9 and 2, its just a bloody good racing game. No ACC? This list cant be real? As stated above the sound is by far the best out of anything on ps5. The throaty, aggressive tones of the engines, the marbles and debris bouncing off the chassis, the squeaks and clunks of a stripped out interior... Its just incredible!! Tough racer tho.
For me its GT7, WRC10, ACC and F1 that take the top spots for me. I just couldnt get in to wreckfest although, i can see how people rate it so high.
Im using a logitech G29 with modded everything 🤣
Have a great weekend everyone.

Project Cars 2 is pretty good, tho play it on PC in VR, PS5 version should be updated to VR,

@Slippship i agree. Why they left out all the customization is beyond me. Same with GT sport too.

Assetto Corsa Competitzione!

@Luigia yeah for certain WRC 10 should be higher than 9. I played both and 10 is for sure more finely tuned and adjusted to perfection. Less visual glitches too!
Ima go rate WRC 10 now, something I should’ve done already!

o unico que me atrai é gt7 o resto parece jogo de 2010 a unica coisa que falta no gt7 sao algums carros que eu nao sei porque ainda nao estao no jogo e a ppd deveria adicionar mais pistas de rally tipo as pistas lineares de dirt nao pistas circulares iguas as que tem no jogo o rally do gt7 é o melhor que existe pena que ela nao explora essa area so quer ficar adicionando pistas repetitivas a ppd tem que toma no rego dela so quer avacalhar com o jogo de proposito quem nao sabe

This list needs updating! How can WRC 10 be below WRC 9!!

I think the top 2 here are spot on, GT7 is amazing with great graphics and handling of all different types of cars and F1 2021 is just a joy to blast around those tracks at crazy speeds. I've recently got the G29 wheel as well so now they're both even more fun to play amd just pure driving heaven. Dirt 5 is another standout for me with its more arcadey driving style that feels like what Sega Rally may well be if it was still around

GT7 for sure, great game!

GT7 deservedly at number 1 and Wreckfest also is a great title, it’s a shame they can’t do more sim titles on the powerful ps5, most of these are very samey or arcadey at best

WRC10 for me is one of the best on the list

Enjoyed the article until I saw hot wheels mentioned, maybe ACC should have been in that place?

How much better is GT7 better than GT Sport? I have both, but I am playing GT Sport rn bc I am new to Sony eco system. I wanted to try out the series first before I shelled out $70. After a few hours, I realized that tho I am not very good, I enjoy the style of play a lot, so I went ahead and got GT7 bc it was on sale. Not loading it now bc of space on HD and I want to finish Sport.

I find it hard to agree on this list (GT7's single player is way too short and Wreckfest is just a mess), but I'm happy WRC9 gets the recognition it deserves. Still the best use of the dual sense I've seen/felt so far.

I'd love outrun 06 with dualsense features lol

WRC Generations missing, GT7 on top. Get a grip!

GT7 and F1 are Amazing

If they get PSVR2 support on PS5 it would be enough to justify my headset.

Good times to be a Car/Autosport fan 🏁

I’ve played every one of these for many hours and I guess i would say GT7 is in the right spot. I find myself getting board with it really quickly. But it is good. I had a ton of fun with Dirt 5, WRC 9 and F1 ‘21. As fun as all of these can be. They just lack something that I cant quite explain. I had more fun with Drive Club on PS4 last gen than ive had with any of these. The last GT game I truly loved was 5 on PS3. And I can still go back to Ridge Racer Type 4 on PS1 and have as much fun or more than with any of these. I think Im just old.

I've only played WRC 9, yet to play 10 but that game is seriously good with the dual sense. Can't really argue with GT7 being top though.

Number 1 for me is project cars 2.... Then WRC10.... Then isle of man TT 2( do bike games count?)... I found the actual driving in previous GT games abit sterile although I don't own gt7 ... Will do tho when I get a ps5.... Dirt5 and wreckfest are good fun for awhile but didn't hold my attention long...

Is this an old list? Or are for instance F1 22 and WRC Generations not as good as their predecessors?

@Darude84 Exsctly the 2 games i was thinking of when i didnt see them on the list. I think it was revised when GT7 released and its just been bumped. WRC G is deffo better than 9 and 10.

@Kidfunkadelic83 Cool, will check out WRC then. I loved 9.

@Darude84 If you liked 9 will certainly like WRCG. I didnt have 9 but i did have 10 and loved it and i still consider G to be better. More of the same just tidied uo a bit with a few more features etc. Its a pretty cheap game too, even at launch it was only retailing at £35.
