The Crew

Realistic visuals

The Crew lets you drive across a huge scaled-down United States from coast to coast, solo or together with other players in crews. It is an arcade racer with car upgrades, races and missions in an always-online shared world.

Test Drive Unlimited

Lots to discover

A huge open-world racing playground set on a faithfully recreated Oahu, where you buy and customize luxury cars and cruise freely or race online with others. The appeal is the lifestyle and freedom rather than any story.

The Isle

Co-op or multiplayer

You play as a dinosaur that must grow, hunt, drink and survive against other players in a vast wilderness. It is a punishing, realism-focused multiplayer survival game where any mistake can be fatal.

Burnout Paradise

Gameplay comes before story

An arcade racer set in the open Paradise City, where you start events at any intersection, pick your own routes and revel in spectacular crashes. Hidden shortcuts, jumps and takedowns make exploring the city a game in itself.

Test Drive Unlimited 2

Realistic visuals

An open-world racing game set on Ibiza and Oahu where you drive luxury cars, win races and buy houses and vehicles. The relaxed lifestyle focus and online community matter more than hardcore racing challenge.

Steep

Gameplay comes before story

Steep lets you freely ski, snowboard, paraglide and wingsuit across huge open mountain ranges in the Alps and Alaska. The appeal lies in finding your own lines, chasing high scores and messing around with other players.

Forza Horizon 5

Realistic visuals

A huge, gorgeous rendition of Mexico, from deserts to jungles and volcanoes, becomes a playground for hundreds of licensed cars. Races, stunts and car collecting flow seamlessly together, solo or alongside other players online.
