Why you can trust Pocket-lint
(Pocket-lint) – No games console is complete with a great racing game – they so often push the boundaries of what gaming hardware can produce visually, and give a great option for relaxed racing or white-knuckle thrill rides, depending on the game.

We’ve gathered the very best options available, below. That said, if you want a different type of game, feel free to check out the table below with our other PS5 lists.
