Microsoft is gearing up for its big pre-E3 press conference, and you’ll be able to watch it live from here. The event kicks off at 1400 local time in Los Angeles (2100 UTC). We’ll be catching it live from the Galen Center, so tune in at the bottom of this post to follow along.

Starting today, ahead of its E3 briefing, Microsoft is cutting the recommended retail price of select Xbox One S bundles by $50.

A new trailer video for Need for Speed Payback sees the expected deluge of E3 racing game coverage getting underway a little early.

The 2017 season is quickly establishing a reputation for breaking prior track records. This weekend proved no different, following an exciting qualifying session at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Canada.

The weekend is here, and for Forza Horizon 3 players, that means performing the usual rituals to obtain a new Porsche. Titled “Horizon Cares,” these Forzathon events give racers the opportunity to add another one of Stuttgarts finest to their list.

It’s that time again, we’re coming up on the biggest gaming event of the year. Of course we’re referring to E3. Whether it be a breadth of games or new hardware reveals, we’re ready for it all. With news expected from every possible direction, next week will be chaotic — we can’t wait!

Thrustmaster has revealed the name of its upcoming wheel ahead of E3 and it goes by the name of “T-GT”. Originally teased on the Thrustmaster Facebook page, the name of the new peripheral disproves prior listings of the “T700”.

It sort of snuck up on us — we’ve been a little busy with a massive project, you see — but E3 2017 is nearly here. As we predicted back in January, this year looks like one of the busiest yet for our favorite genre. So what are we most looking forward to when the doors open in California next week? Well, we’ve got a list for that, in no particular order.

With only a few days remaining until E3, Microsoft has revealed Project Scorpio will offer additional memory to game developers. Xbox chief Mike Ybarra took to Twitter, announcing that developers can access an additional 1GB of RAM for games. For those keeping count, that bumps the total up to 9GB.

At Gran Turismo Sport’s blowout event back in May of 2016, a mysterious Thrustmaster-branded wheel sat in a glass case. In May of this year, numerous retailers began putting up listings for the supposed Thrustmaster “T700.” We still don’t have the full details about this wheel, but the peripheral maker has thrown us a bone or two over the past few days.

It appears Playground Games has more cars planned for Forza Horizon 3. Thanks to the accidental release of the dev version, players have found hints of new models buried in the latest update’s code.

You know the story by now: last month the Ready To Race car pack made its way to Assetto Corsa. Included were 10 brand-new vehicles ranging from a “budget” supercar to two hardcore Le Mans prototypes. Throughout the week we’ve put seven of the ten vehicles through their paces. At last, it’s time to bring the series to a close with the final three — the extreme three.

Welcome to Mirror Mode, GTPlanet’s new series that shines a spotlight on retro racing games. For our first installment, we’re taking a look back at one of the competitors Gran Turismo inspired during the franchise’s early years: Sega GT.

If you heard the news we broke yesterday, this may not surprise you. But now it’s official: we’ll be careening around race tracks from all over the world in Project CARS 2 this September.

It’s one of the strangest cars ever conceived, but this week’s Want will be rather familiar to Gran Turismo fans.

Barely a week seems to go by these days without a car manufacturer boasting about its Nürburgring lap time.

Well, this is a surprise. It seems Slightly Mad Studios’ Project CARS 2 will release September 22 on PS4, Xbox One and PC as per a new blog post on the official website. The date has since been removed from the article, but multiple responses on social media and within our own community corroborate the date.

With 322 race starts to his name, Rubens Barrichello handily owns the title of most experienced Formula One driver. Despite never winning the driver’s championship, the Brazilian did finish second in points in 2002 and 2004 as Michael Schumacher’s teammate at Ferrari, and more recently third in 2009 during Brawn GP’s whirlwind single-season campaign.

Earlier this week we celebrated Assetto Corsa’s Ready To Race car pack by breaking in four of the included cars. We’re picking up where we left off with three new vehicles, all with something to prove. However, it’s worth acknowledging that the liveries featured are not standard fare with the car pack.

This past weekend the team behind iRacing confirmed two new additions were on the way to the acclaimed PC sim. Arriving today, players will have the opportunity to get personal with the Ford GT LM and Ferrari 488.
