...to play on XBox Series X, to play offline, and it runs at 60FPS/1440P.

Preferably not a Gran Turismo clone.
 
Forza Horizon 4 is pretty great, speaking as someone who isn't big into racing games and didn't like the autistic detail of Gran Turismo

I wasn't so keen on FH5 because the world seemed empty and the rewards system seemed way harsher (Maybe it has improved since I tried it). But FH4 was really rewarding, just pissing about doing events and constantly winning new and awesome cars. And if you can't be arsed tuning them to perfection or customizing you can just download other peoples setups/creations. It's a racing game optimized to be fun for the player and that is constantly showering you with content

Thank you, Zer for the great recommendation.

Pretty sure FH4 is on sale too in the current Xbox sale before it's delisting later in the year
 
Did they ever remaster Midnight Club LA?
 
The Hot Wheels Unleashed games are actually really fun
 
I'm downloading The Crew 2. No idea if it's good. It's free in my PS Store.

I just tried one called Urban Asphalt. It said press L1 and L2 and Square and use the joystick to drift.. I tried it and it didn't feel natural like Project Gotham Racing. Uninstalled in the tutorial.

The one thing I think Xbox dominates PS in is racing games


Edit

Uninstalled The Crew 2. It's got cars, boats, and planes in it. I can deal with the boats but not the airplanes with weird inverted controls. I crashed my plane 2 seconds into the tutorial.

The only other racing game I see on the PS Free Store is Need for Speed Underbound.

Forza Horizon 5 is all you need. It's the top of its class. Not sure if it can be played offline though? It does have quite a lot of single player content. It was the only racer I played for nearly a year before my data crashed, but that was on game pass PC

Any of the Forza Horizon titles should do you good.
 
I don't think "Forza" is a good recommendation if you don't want a racing sim like "Gran Turismo". It's basically the Xbox's answer to GT.

"Wreckfest" is pretty fun.
 


Redout 2

I found the new F-Zero type game.. And it goes light speed at the start when I was at the title screen..

Not everyone likes these types of racing games but I do and the controls are nice and graphics are nice. Something different..

It's got multi player too

It's in the PS Plus games

I enjoy both FH4 and FH5 but overall I enjoyed 5 more... An important aspect is the engine noise, the FH5 is far better than 4 when it comes to this.

Played the first game and.... its okay.

The issue with those racing games that your racer is going 600+ MPH you can't see the twists and turns coming so you basically have to memorize each and every track through trial & error.

Think I played it for 2+ hours and haven't touched it since... which I admit is odd because for 10+ years I've been thinking an F-Zero spiritual successor on modern consoles would be awesome.

That's because you suck

I've already mastered the game because I love it

{<hhh]

To be clear, the harder tracks are the type you basically have to memorize the twists & turns.
And you have to buy and switch out parts for each of the harder tracks.

Anyway, is Redout 2 better, or those who aren't fans of the first game may be fans of the sequel?
 
I haven't memorized anything except the buttons

This might be the greatest racing game I ever played in my opinion

Whoever made this game deserves a Nobel Peace Prize

The game is so smooth and so fast and the graphics and the music and the race tracks
