5 Best PS4 Racing Games That Will Boost Your Adrenaline

Looking for racing games on your PS4 and don't know what to play? We've got you covered! The PlayStation does not seem to get the same kind of racing games that other consoles get. On the Xbox, you have the Forza series which is no doubt, an amazing game series.

Microsoft constantly releases new and different kinds of Forza games on both the Xbox as well as the PC (although racing games are much more enjoyable and smooth with a controller). On Nintendo Switch, you have the timeless and legendary Mario Kart (among other games).

Racing games used to be all the hype back in the 90s and 2000s. They even used to be a smash hit in arcades. Weirdly enough the genre has seen a decline in hype and games made. What happened to the days when Need for Speed was the talk of the town?

While the PS4 did not have any exclusive or standout racing games, there were plenty of them that were released that were extremely enjoyable. The racing genre is not as popular as the open world or action or adventure genres, but they still have a fast and furious fan base that is left unsatisfied with their need for speed.

So let us take a look at some of the best racing games which were highly liked by players too.
