I’ve got only two questions for you! One, do you love racing games? Two, do you prefer gaming on your phone? If your answer to these questions is yes, then you’re in for a treat, my friend.
Racing games have always been my favorite, and the chance to enjoy the thrill and excitement of these games wherever I am has made me gravitate toward them on my phone more than anything.
However, choosing the right game matters greatly. I mean, who would want a game where your car or bike hardly moves? You can’t customize its look, and there are no side quests, right? I know I wouldn’t.
In this article, I’m going to help you make the most of your gaming experience by sharing some hidden gems of mobile racing games, so don’t expect big titles like Need for Speed, Asphalt, or Hill Climb Racing. Oh, and did I mention the best part? They’re all free!
3,2,1, let’s go!
Racing Fever: Moto
I downloaded this one after an intense battle between my phone space and my passion for bike racing, and little did I know, I was downloading my new favorite. The game has everything I look for in a racing game, from high-quality graphics and precise mechanics to some of the most stunning bike designs I have ever seen.
The game allows you to choose your name and country and offers a wide range of gameplay options in addition to the main Racing mode. These take the form of categories like Missions, Police, Daily Race, Multiplayer, and Free Ride, too, if you’re just looking to chill for a bit. There is also a Custom mode where you can create races based on your preferences.
P.S. You will need a fast and reliable internet connection to enjoy the multiplayer mode. If you’re looking for one, I’d suggest going through the Xfinity Internet plans.
There are over 21 bikes featured in the game, and they match real-life designs to a T. The bikes can also be customized to match the look and feel that sits right with you and can be upgraded in terms of speed, acceleration, braking, and handling. However, I warn you, once you download the game for the first time, you may feel like you’re being forced to buy a bike and start racing right away.
Street Racing 3D
This game kept popping up in my recommended section many times and looking back; it may have been a calling. I hit download, and I must say, I was not disappointed. Like the previous game in this list, this one, too, has high-quality graphics, easy controls, and a wide range of accurately and aesthetically designed raging beasts.
The game has two modes, a career mode and a player-vs-player mode, of which the latter is unlocked when you reach a certain level. Sounds less, doesn’t it? Well, it’s not because the career mode features 5 championships, each with many levels. There are also different categories of cars, each featuring multiple makes and models, all of them more stunning than the next. The soundtrack of the game also caught me off guard, really capturing the vibe of a racing game.
The game brings a fun and engaging twist to street racing by allowing you to damage other players’ cars. However, the same applies to you as well; luckily, you can change the designs of your cars and even repair or maintain them in the garage.
It also challenges your driving and drifting skills with a lot of sharp twists and turns. Kind of reminded me of one of my childhood PSP (PlayStation Portable) favorites, Burnout Dominator; man, I wish they’d bring that back on the PS5.
Assoluto Racing
This one’s for the serious racers out there who prefer a hyper-realistic gaming experience, visuals, and physics. The game allows you to race professionally, featuring a wide range of professional racing tracks and cars, including Formula 1 cars. The graphics and realism are top-notch, and the cars in the game are officially licensed from their respective companies, including Japanese giants like Nissan and Toyota and German companies like Mercedes and BMW.
The game features three modes that immerse me in what it takes to become a driver. First, you have the License Tests, where you’ll have to complete a series of challenges for your official license. Then you have the Stock Race series, where you can compete against other players and gain points for stunts like drifting. Finally, you have the Multiplayer mode, where you can go global with a range of intense and thrilling challenges.
To keep the races fair, the game only allows cars from a similar category to compete with each other, just like in professional racing. There are over 150 cars in the game, so don’t worry; your options are far from limited. You can also upgrade and tune these cars in the garage.
Mobile Racing Games – Blending Convenience with Thrilling Gameplay
With mobile gaming, there is a literal ocean of choices to choose from, leading to a high chance that you may miss out on some quality racing games.
The three on my list are some of those that I felt deserved more recognition. While these are a good start, there are undoubtedly more that may better match your interests and preferences. Take your time to research the market and brace yourself for a world that blends convenience with immersive, engaging, and thrilling gameplay.
