JumpCut PLAY
By Rhys Bowen JonesHarkening back to the classic arcade racers you’d gleefully waste your £2 coin on at the back of Hollywood Bowl, Hotshot Racing is a no-frills racing game with simple but satisfying mechanics to entice even the most hardcore racers.
Thumbsticks
By Daniel NewHotshot Racing is a go-faster stripe of a game that comfortably outpaces the likes of GearClub Unlimited and Horizon Chase Turbo. Well designed tracks and responsive handling give the game the substance that is equal to its stylish looks.

By Jason StettnerHotshot Racing is a joy, it’s got a great amount of content to it and is generally a blast that came out of nowhere.

By Juanma F. PadillaHotshot Racing is a long-awaited game and, at times, it seemed that it was not going to come to fruition. Thanks surely to the alliance with Curve Digital and the invaluable collaboration with Sumo Digital, we finally have a game that promises to bring us the flavor of the driving arcades of the 90s to our current platforms and, although there will be users who may prefer to continue reliving the classics, if you prefer to expand your options here is a recommended one that would not clash between the games of the time.

By Győző BakiHotshot Racing follows the lead of classic arcade racers like Out Run and Daytona USA, with a colorful and detailed low-poly look and highly enjoyable gameplay. Lots of modes, including 4 player split-screen and online play, make it a very satisfying experience. A game every racing games lover should try, at least via Xbox Game Pass.
