January Sales Offer Up Racing Game Bargains​

December might be the time of giving, but January is the time of getting. Every year, after one of the busiest shopping periods on the calendar, retailers offer huge discounts on all sorts of things — and racing games are among them...

Iconic timing @Famine!

Just as you posted this article I completed purchase of F1 2021 whilst getting the PSPlus version of Dirty Rally 5.

Was tempted to get more but given I just bought this new laptop I think that's enough spending for this month on myself!

This is horrible! I just bought ACC and now I see more racing games on sale. I am going to have to figure out how to get some more racing games now.

Hello everyone and a happy new year.
I only bought a game on PSN only because it had PPIHC, Sebastian Loeb Rally, great game, with all cars accessible to the track, the same doesn't happen in Dirt Rally, it's only mythical, 4 or 5 cars, but also a good game.
As I like the track, I will buy the next game that has PPIHC. In June there will be a new race, I really hope we can play it at home as if we were in Colorado. Even better if more than 420 cars can race, the Taycan should give some enjoyment, as well as any powerful electric, S Plaid etc. Anyway, 2022 is the year of Gran Turismo 7.
I haven't seen Dirt5 on Plus yet, but I plan to give it a try. But what I really want is more Rally in Gran Turismo. ))

Assetto Corsa Competizione, can you play it with a joypad?

Assetto Corsa Competizione, can you play it with a joypad?

Yes. You won't be the fastest and have to fiddle around with the setting (there is a thread in here with settings from some users) and it is quiet challenging but it does work on PC and consoles.

Assetto Corsa Competizione, can you play it with a joypad?

Indeed, and it's very fun if sweaty haha... Main feature I miss is no rumble on the triggers, you have to listen for traction loss...

It's much MUCH easier / better than original Assetto Corsa with controller.

Wreckfest PS5 - £15.74

I was in several minds about whether to include PS5 Wreckfest or not... because its launch price was £0. Even if you didn't have a PS5, you could have added it to your PS Plus library for free.

F1 2021: Deluxe Edition - £29.99
WRC 10 - £24.74 (Deluxe Edition - £35.74)

Yep, added.

RiMS Racing: Ultimate Edition - £46.19

30% off and still more than £45 (and not a great game)... Nah, I'll skip that one off the list

The others are highly niche titles I'd struggle to justify including. Like Garfield Kart or Train Simulator.
