We are on the home stretch for 2024, so it is time to look at the most played racing games on Steam in November 2024.

Note: This is not a definitive list of the games' players. Most are available outside of Steam on platforms such as EA Play, Epic Games, and others, and many on consoles as well, for which the data is not readily available. As a result, this list is based exclusively on the numbers relevant to Steam.

The end of the year usually means more rig time for a lot of sim racers, and with the recent Steam sale, there were plenty of good deals to be had, too. Additionally, a free play weekend surrounding the Las Vegas Grand Prix seems to have gotten F1 24 some more attention.

While the title battle did not go down to the wire after an exciting season, the official Formula One game racked up a new all-time concurrent player peak on November 23, as the title was free to play for anyone over the GP weekend. The previous best was set immediately after release at 6,190 players, so the new peak is a considerable improvement.

Most Played Racing Games on Steam in November 2024 (cap at 250 avg. players; top values in bold). Source: steamcharts.com

Meanwhile, not much has changed at the top of the list, with BeamNG.drive still leading Forza Horizon 4 and Forza Horizon 5. Further down the order, the effect of the v1.6 release for Automobilista 2 does not quite show up yet - which is not a surprise considering the big update was launched on November 29. Despite this, an improvement is already visible.

Interestingly, Le Mans Ultimate has suffered a dip in average players, trailing Studio 397's other entry on the list, rFactor 2. With the recently-released Update 3, this might be a short-lived trend, however, as interest tends to go up after the launch of big updates.

When i drive I want to feel a car like real. This sensation for me come from RF2 and LMU for the best FFB, and also ACC. It does not important complete or not complete. Foe ex. in LMU I can drive 20 different cars in ten tracks, it's enough for me. I have also Raceroom, who drive 300 different cars in 50 tracks? We need seven life like a cat.

It must be disheartening to make a 'so special' game Sim where less than 750 people bother with it and two thirds of them walk away!
Was it too niche? was it poorly hyped? or was it simply bad luck, timing and/or management?
What ever it was it's a bit of a slap!

Or am I reading this completely wrong and LMU players enjoy the game sim by something other than steam?
after all I have tens of thousands of laps on GTR2 but I have never played via steam

The failure of LMU is quite incredible.

Surely it shouldn't have done this poorly.Seems very few bothered, and this that did seemed to have moved on.

Perhaps early access limbo and selling DLC is the kiss of death?
