Comment on The 10 most anticipated video games of 2026
OrgunDonor@lemmy.world 22 hours agoFor arcade racing games, keep an eye on iRacing Arcade. It is a small roster of licensed cars and tracks, but seems to have a good single player mode(need to see more), and should have good online racing as well. Demo was excellent and I believe it is still available.

That might be a solid recommendation for others, but speaking for myself, licensed cars and tracks do nothing for me and in most cases will probably put some drag on my enjoyment, because real racing asks you to do things like “not checking the car next to you” that would put real people in harm’s way; and damaging licensed cars in video games is generally frowned upon by the licensors. And also speaking for myself, the store page says it has no local multiplayer, which is my primary use case for a racing game, so its omission is a deal-breaker. Most of the genre has gone this way in recent years, catering to the crowd that likes licensed cars and real tracks, and that’s why I haven’t had as many racing games to play of late. There’s still some stuff for me, though.
