Kunos Simulazioni is hard at work on Assetto Corsa Competizione. It had its first public debut earlier this month, and now the team has released nearly an hour of straight gameplay footage.

The second round of the first F1 triple header kicks off this weekend. With the sport heading to the Red Bull Ring, who better to show off the venue than Red Bull’s own Max Verstappen?

At long last, The Crew 2 is now available on the PS4, Xbox One and PC platforms. There’s a lot more going on in Ubisoft’s ambitious sequel to its open-world racer. Unlike the original, The Crew 2 allows players to explore the land, sea, and air.

Xbox gamers looking for some rallying action this summer are in luck. Codemasters has announced DiRT 4 is coming to Xbox Game Pass, meaning subscribers will get to add it to their collections on July 1.

When it comes to the world of truck sims, the market is pretty bleak for console players. Outside of Spintires: Mudrunner (and we can’t really call that a “truck sim”), there are no other choices. Fortunately, Triangle Studios is looking to rectify this with its upcoming game Truck Driver.

Tomorrow, The Crew 2 will touch down on all platforms, giving racers a chance to race across the States. Before the big day, Ubisoft has taken the opportunity to go over how players will climb the ranks.

Today, thousands of players across the globe are getting in on The Crew 2. Early access has begun, and the game marks a rather unique point in the history of the racing genre: it’s the first new racer to feature both Porsche and RUF from day one.

The Crew 2 is the latest open-world racer from Ivory Tower. Expanding on the 2014 original, it is once again set in a miniaturized version of the continental US. This time though, the devs have added planes and boats to the mix, even allowing players to swap between them with the touch of a button.

Another Tuesday, another Mileage Exchange update.

The second beta for The Crew 2 is done. As a sequel to an ambitious arcade racer, it’s poised to be one of the main racing games of the summer.

Someone at Microsoft made a bit of a mistake this weekend when the Forza Horizon 4 pre-load appeared over three months early. Players were able to download what seems like an early, incomplete version of the game, and data miners have had a field day.
