Rennsport Coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series in 2025​

Competition Company and Tayon Studios have announced that their upcoming driving simulator Rennsport is no longer a PC exclusive, and will be heading to ninth-gen consoles this year...

Vr?

Yeah, PSVR2 support or it’s irrelevant to me.

Well unlike a lot of these racing games that people insist on only playing in VR, the PC version of this one actually supports it. Not very well, at least when it first launched but it may have improved since.

If I move back to PC (and I may in the future), this will be one of the many games I try. There are a lot of great options for VR in PC-land. But my PC is old, and the upgrades to support VR would be costly, so I'm always interested in options that will work with my current PS5-based arrangement.

Maybe Sony doesn't want the competition? I'm sure GT7 is about the only thing selling PSVR2 hardware at this point.

Touring Cars? Well that's an easy buy for me.

Hope this has a demo to try.

Vr?

Nope. They tried, but they were too incompetent to implement it properly (and probably still are) and removed it again. It doesn't even support triple screens. I tried it in the closed beta period and it's a very mediocre - and boring - game. There's not even an AI to race against, it's purely for online racing.

Perhaps it'll fare better on console than on PC where there are lots of much, much better alternatives, but without AI I have my doubts.

Edit: Just checked steamdb; there's currently a whopping 56 people playing Rennsport. Of course there's also a handful or two playing via Epic, so maybe around 70 people in total would be my optimistic guess. The game's already dead.

I also forgot to mention that there's crypto assets involved - you can supposedly trade your cars as if they were one of those "fancy" and "very valuable" crypto-bro Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs (non-fungible tokens.) What's not to like?

Hmm... online with no single player... hard pass. No doubt will be as scintillating as the last driving game published by Nacon. Meh.

It's free to try on PC right now. I don't recommend it at the moment. The performance is poor. The graphics are poor. The physics are weird and poor. Recommended 3070 for these graphics? It's just not optimized. It's main goal is esports and single player last.
There is a LOT that would need to change to make this worthy of the disk space. Including car classes with more than just two cars in it.

I can't get excited about this. We have those cars and those tracks (okay, most of them) so what is worth my investment over GT7? More GT3 type cars? Offer up something that GT7 has seemingly forgotten about, like street tired 400pp cars thrashing around an Autumn Ring Mini type track and I'm all in.

Sounds like a real cherry.

So dumb to not do vr. I would have probably bought it despite the warts if they had…just for something different while pd faff’s off with their FFB implementation.
