The new pokemon, Horizon Forbidden West and a new one God of War. Next year will be a good year for games anyway, we dare to say that. And luckily the games also appear on the old generation consoles, since the new ones are still hard to get. In terms of racing games for 2022, things are going well. So there is finally a new one Gran Turismo on the schedule and there is actually a new one Test Drive Unlimited. Unfortunately, it seems that a new Need for Speed is not planned for 2022. Below you see a list of the racing games of 2022 as they are known so far.
Grid Legends (February 25, 2022)
Coming out on: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC
Grid Legends must be the biggest grid ever be. A big part is a storyline with real actors, including Ncuti Gatwa from the Netflix series Sex Education. The makers used the same technique as Mandalorian to film with green screens, the developer proudly reports. The actors really seem to be standing next to a car, but in reality they are in a studio. Hopefully the cutscenes are just as cringe-inducing as Need for Speed.
Gran Turismo 7 (March 4, 2022)
Coming out on: PS4, PS5
Will this be the racing game of 2022? Let’s hope so. The makers have listened carefully to the fans and have slightly changed the direction of the game. There are more cars in the game again, a lot of tracks and you can better customize the cars to your own taste. Watch a trailer here.
Chocobo GP (10 March 2022)
Coming out on: Nintendo Switch
Chocobo GP is a kart game for the Nintendo Switch. Maybe not the racing game of 2022, but it can be quite a good addition for those who love the tracks of Mario Kart already know by heart. With these kinds of games, it’s always a matter of waiting to see if they can match the plumber’s game – especially if it’s on the same platform.
F1 2022 (July 2022)
Coming out on: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC
Not much is known about the new F1 game yet, but it can actually be filled in reasonably well. F1 2022 will be an evolution of this year’s game. Expect a slightly more polished gameplay, a more expansive story and probably some extra historic F1 cars. The game usually comes out sometime in July.
Saints Row (August 23, 2022)
Coming out on: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC
Come on, this isn’t a 2022 racing game in the most literal sense, but there are plenty of vehicles in this game. Saints Row is kind of a mix between the series Narcos and GTA, but then told by a fanciful preschooler who has found Daddy’s stash of Red Bull.
Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown (September 2022)
Coming out on: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PC
This is a racing game for 2022 that we are very much looking forward to. An open world game to scrub through with friends. A species Forza Horizon, but also for other consoles. Plus, they’ve recreated Hong Kong one-on-one for the game – or so they say. The problem is that between small teasers, developer Nacon keeps quiet for so long. Hopefully they haven’t taken too much on. And hey, September is still a while.
Kartrider: Drift (sometime in 2022)
Coming out on: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC
Forgive us if we don’t react very enthusiastically to yet another arcade kart game. Often they are half-baked clones of the aforementioned racing game of the man with the mustache and the red cap. What’s nice is that KartRider should be free to download. The makers will probably earn nice outfits and new karts for the players. Could be a smart move by the developer. It should be released sometime in 2022.
Redout 2 (sometime in 2022)
Coming out on: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PC
This one is for those who look back nostalgically at games like F Zero and WipEout. The makers themselves call it ‘anti-gravity racing’, which means racing with flying things. A kind of kart game, but undoubtedly a lot more frustrating. How sturdy are the controllers of the latest consoles?
Racing games for 2022 we’d like to see
although Need for Speed is never a game for the diehard enthusiasts, it remains an entertaining series. A little surprise would never be unwanted. In addition, we do not consider the chance that a new Forza Motorsport coming in 2022, but we hold light hope. We have also been hoping for a completely new one for years mario kart, but probably you should go and have fun with the other karting games from above. We also contacted the makers behind everywhere, but that doesn’t seem to be happening anytime soon.
