Games Compilations Open world racing

Open world racing

Just ten to fifteen years ago, all races were similar in format: separate races with loading screens. Later, the developers began adding a career mode and open locations.

Now almost all major AAA projects in the racing genre exploit open world mechanics in one way or another. True, they also require a fairly decent computer.
