DAY
Rebel Racing
2024's Real Race game
As its name suggests, Rebel Racing gleefully ignores anything you might find in The Highway Code; this is breathless, bite-size street racing with a moreish upgrade and customisation system to keep you coming back for more.
What we love: Racing at top speeds right from the start – before you know it, you’re blazing along a balmy Pacific coastline before barrelling off-road, along a beach and across a makeshift finish line. There’s no mirror, signal, manoeuvre here; you’re practically encouraged to smash through scenery – and into other cars – to claim a “Rebel bonus”. There are extra style points for overtaking, drifting and jumping off bumps in the road.
Quick tip: Check out the Daily Test Drives, which allow you to sample a ludicrously fast supercar every 24 hours – a glimpse of what’s to come if you keep playing.
Meet the creator: Hutch Games, based in London, is one the UK’s top studios for racing games – it has made all sorts, from F1 Clash and Top Drives to MMX Hill Dash and Puzzle Heist.
