Pick One: Which Of These Xbox Game Pass Racers Is Your Favourite?

I will always go FH4 but atm I'm running through Dirt5 and Wreckfest.

only 3% for BurnOut Paradise ?

I like Forza Horizon 4, but I'm going to go with Dirt Rally 2.0. As for racing on a track I'm waiting for Forza Motorsport 6 to arrive because I don't like FM7.
Edit: Oops! I've just noticed this is about Game Pass racers. Well, I believe Dirt Rally 2.0 was once available there so my point is valid

Burnout Paradise is one of the weakest in the series, I wish they'd have remastered 3 instead. Out of the others I'm really enjoying Wreckfest at the moment but it's hard to argue against Forza Horizon 4 being up there. Hotshot Racing is another which is good fun and really nails the look of the Model 1 Arcade with a few modern touches

Definitely Forza Horizon 4 all the way baby..

Forza Horizon 4, hands down. Paid expansions aside, the amount of free updates that game has had... it's the game that keeps on giving. 👍

Yeahhh, not surprised at all that FH4 is so far ahead. Been into Need for Speed Heat recently and enjoying that game's absolutely mental handling model though! I will say that having a smaller garage does make me really focus in customising each car, even if the decal tools don't hold a candle to Forza's versatility.

I didn't vote as i haven't played them all yet. FH4 is an absolute gem so it's likely getting the vote end of the day. I'm looking forward to playing Dirt 5 as I've only heard great things about it.

The one the only Forza Horizon 4.
The FH series as grown well both in game play but also in sales, increasing each episode.
I hope Microsoft focus well on this FH franchise it’s one area where the competition can’t touch them currently.

Just being looking at some statistics and I’m not sure Xbox really need the FM side of things anymore sales wise or game wise due to so many similar games. Turn 10 could focus on something different.
Whilst FH just keeps growing and developing and selling more. Also it seems FH is far more popular and noted as Xbox franchise with very positive feed back. It’s a unique game really and by far the best racer around.

So I started playing Forza Horizon 4 based on this poll... and I'm not really clear about what I'm supposed to do. I'm just driving around without a clear destination, and there doesn't seem to be any racing to speak of. Am I missing something here, or is this just a casual driving simulator? My apologies if I'm being an idiot here.

Silly question - Forza Horizon 4 all the way - although I did pre-order the game long before I joined Game Pass

@101Force If you had started from the beginning, you get directed into what you can do. Its an open world game and you drive around to various objectives to race. Some objectives are to beat a time, jump etc and there are collectibles you hit too...

Open up the map, select an objective, drive to that point, complete objective earn money/rewards, head to your garage when you have enough to upgrade and/or customise your car(s) or buy new cars. Just driving around can earn XP and Rewards and you will come across 'something' to do if you want...

@BAMozzy : Thanks for the suggestions. Turning Anna on seems to have given me some good direction to start with too, although I'd guess I'll be turning her back off once I'm more used to the game.

@101Force I'd suggest turning her off only when you are only wanting to drive around or when you have done everything...

@BAMozzy : Sounds good, thanks again!

My problem with Forza Horizon 4 is it’s heavy focus towards multiplayer. In this respect I preferred FH3, as its races and championships were great for solo players. FH4 does look fantastic though, especially with the seasons.

Overall FH4, however right now I am really loving Dirt 5!

Assetto Corsa is the absolute best racing, if you got a wheel.
If you want arcade, use a controller, then I guess forza horizon is for you. Nothing wrong with arcade if you want that, just know that there are big differences.

Downloaded Dirt 5 for the series x
Can’t believe this is considered next generation gaming.
Horrible graphics
Just my opinion obviously

Mostly enjoyed FH4, but with a few caveats...
The menus are a bloated confusing mess.
The car handling seems a bit off to me... a bit floaty and with both understeer and oversteer.
Love the idea and the looks of the game though.

Dirt 5... Shallow and easy, but kinda fun for a quick 10-20 session... great addition to gamepass.

GRID should not be forgotten. A very good game (though I prefer the city tracks to the race circuits)... Though occasionally the AI driver aggression can sometimes ruin a game.

BRING BACK PROJECT GOTHAM... that game was a damn near perfect city racer. Great city tracks and perfectly balanced handling (not quite sim and not totally arcade... just right).

Horizon 4 because it delivers on so many fronts. I have really been enjoying Wreckfest recently. I downloaded Dirt 4 and have to say I was disappointed.

@antstephenson yeah, Dirt 5 is ridiculously easy. I started it the day it came to Game Pass and, as of yesterday evening, I've unlocked all but two of the achievements. I started out with medium AI and some assists turned on but after a handful of races I had the AI on very hard and all assists off.

The only races that really gave me issues were some of the sprint events; the ones with the stupid looking cars.

@VenomousAlbino yeah, my wife, who is terrible at all video games, especially driving games, just managed to win a Dirt 5 race on "hard" setting 😁 When playing Grid or FH4, she always finishes last!

@antstephenson I wouldn't say I'm great at them. I usually have to fiddle with assists to get the driving to my liking. But Jesus, a three year old could probably win some Dirt 5 races at its hardest settings.

Forza Horizon series is amazing. Freaking love that game.

Haven't played Horizon 2 yet. My brother has it, and has been waiting for me to visit so we can play.

Forza Horizon 4. By a powerslide, landslide and airjump. And then some.

Are the servers for Wreckfest online again? They were down the first evening on Game Pass, but I can see it being great fun online.

@ResoluteCustoms
Same here!
All great games but each offer a different experience and a lot of FUN!!
Forza Horizon 4 overall tho.

I'm glad so many people seem to like Horizon 4 but for me its been a horrible disappointment. I've tried 2 racing wheels (listed as being supported by the developers) and its been terrible with both of them despite multiple on-line forum searches and posts directly to the developer (who's response was horrible) I really want to like that game but the car spins out way too easy for an "arcade racer" .

Burnout Paradise doesn't even officially support wheels but even my 4 year old can drive with a wheel and have fun there.

Horizon4 has been nothing but frustrating for me as a long time gamer. I can't even come close to winning a single race on the easiest setting. As soon as another car bumps me in the slightest way, I loose control and even then I can't come close to the lap times of the AI once everyone has passed me. I'm getting gamer rage just thinking about it (which I almost never get with any other game).

If anyone has any helpful suggestions that would be appreciated. I have a Thurstmaster TMX and a PXN V3II (the later is cheaper and works better, go figure). I was really hoping my 7 year old might be able to enjoy the Lego add-on with a wheel. (Gotta do what you can to make things special during COVID times). Thanks in advance.
