Top 15 NEW Racing Games of 2025 And Beyond

2025 is shaping up to be a banner year for the racing games genre. Whilst we haven’t got official news on Forza Horizon 6 nor the next Need for Speed game, we expect we’ll see something this year alongside the return of Mario Kart with flashes of its ninth entry appearing in Nintendo’s Switch 2 announcement trailer. Even without those sure-fire hits, 2025 is still promising a host of excellent entries to keep any type of racing fanatic happy. There’re numerous boundary pushing simulations seeing the light of day this year, alongside more arcade-orientated entries encompassing wacky destruction and chaotic karting. A couple of reboots including not one, but two celebrations of Japanese car culture make the cut for this rundown too.
