To help you in your search, I've rounded up the best racing and driving games for Sony's PS4 and PS5 consoles. Whether you're a serious racing enthusiast looking for a hard-core and accurate motorsports simulator, a casual autophile looking for a fun and fast arcade racer, or you're just beginning to explore your love of cars and car culture, the perfect racing game is out there waiting for you. PlayStation racing has come a long way over the last 19 years.

I remember lapping Laguna Seca in GT4 to memorize every turn on the night before my first real track day. For its time, GT4 was state of the art, with accurate reproductions of real-world tracks and over 700 cars. It changed the way I looked at motorsport and cars. That game, coupled with a massive stack of sport compact car racing magazines, paved the way for my all-out obsession. Gran Turismo 4 on the PS2 was the first racing game that hooked me. I've been a fan of the genre for over two decades. It’s a game that makes you sit forward in your seat and savour the joys of jumping a Dakar Rally Peugeot 3008 over a ravine.If you're anything like me, you can't wait to get your hands on the best racing games for PS4 and PS5. At times a riot, in other areas a little repetitive and lacking in finesse, it nevertheless delivers on the concept of an adrenaline-fueled off-road racer. Our resident racing expert Thomas H-L left a glowing review of Codemasters latest entry in the long-running series, scoring Dirt 5 an 8 out of 10:ĭIRT 5 strips away the more serious elements of the franchise and puts all its eggs in one, arcade cabinet shaped, basket. We’ve attached a screenshot (depicting the same screen, but with Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla) below so you know where to look. When on the store page, look to the right side and you’ll see an icon for the PS5 upgrade (it’s sitting just above the trophies tab). If you press download then you’ll likely end up installing the PS4 version instead. Once you’ve set up your PlayStation 5 and signed into the PSN profile used to originally buy Dirt 5, go into the PlayStation Store and look for the game (use the search bar if you’re having issues).Įven when you’ve found the Dirt 5 page, you may miss where to upgrade to PS5.

Of course, you will already need to have purchased a copy of Dirt 5on PlayStation 4, whether you purchased it as a direct download via the PlayStation Store or have a physical disc-based version.
