Street Racing HD

Street Racing HD

Street Racing HD is an arcade racing game for players who prefer quick races, drifting and nitro boosts over realistic driving simulation. It suits casual racers who want immediate action, as well as competitive players looking for online races and car progression.

What you drive

The game offers a garage of more than 30 racing cars, with upgrades for areas such as engine performance and handling. Cars can also be visually altered with paint, exhaust trails and licence plates, giving players some control over how their vehicle looks as well as how it performs.

How the races work

Driving centres on steering, drifting and collecting nitro for short bursts of speed. Races take place across varied urban and roadside settings, including routes associated with Tokyo and Route 66. Alongside standard competition, the game includes real-time races for up to six players, one-to-one PvP and asynchronous ghost challenges for comparing runs without racing at the same time.

• Best suited to: arcade racers, drift-focused driving and short competitive sessions.
• Less suited to: players seeking realistic physics, licensed motorsport rules or a simulation-style career.
• Developer: Ivy
