    Why are so many racing games 'unfinished'?

    On this week's Traxion Control racing video game and sim racing podcast, the team discuss the recent spate of 'unfinished' racing games released. Join Thomas Harrison-Lord, John Munro and Tom Bunten to discuss Formula Legends, Carmageddon: Rogue Shift, Old School Rally, Project Motor Racing and Rennsport as title launched with good ideas, but a lack of polish. Then, they discuss if early access is a good programme or not, should Wreckfest 2 or Assetto Corsa Rally be part of that system, whether Nacon Racing is on the rise, will Screamer sell well and answer a community question. As ever, let us know your opinions in the comments below!

  7. EA listens to fans, there will be no new F1 video game in 2026

    EA listens to fans, there will be no new F1 video game in 2026

    There will not be an official Formula 1 game in 2026. Confirmed. Instead, there will be an F1 26 DLC pack for EA SPORTS F1 25 - including the new cars, liveries and presumably, the Madrid circuit. During a year of significant change for the sport, the official video game will also go through some drastic steps. Then, the sim racing series will return in 2027, but in a “reimagined” form.

    Forza Horizon 6 is real, and in Japan - All we know so far

    Forza Horizon 6 is officially official in Japan, definitely confirmed. But, what else is there to spot so far? Traxion has sifted through the trailer, spotted locations on Google Maps, read all of the available FAQs, and this is everything we know so far about Forza Horizon 6. Such as, when will the PS5 version launch? What should you expect from the Japanese setting? Aren't there other open-world driving games already in the same country? Will the change of leadership affect the end result? Is it on Xbox One? As ever, let us know your thoughts in the comments below, including which Japanese cars you would like to see included in FH6.
