As it gets colder in many parts of the world, more players are back behind the virtual wheels of their favorite racing games. Here are the most played racing games on Steam in September 2024.
A sale and a big update seemingly go a long way in the racing games sphere: While BeamNG.drive posted strong numbers once again following its 0.33 update, the title had to make room for a new leader on the chart in September of 2024 - The Crew 2.
The open-world racer rocketed past every title on our list, posting record numbers in September - thanks to a sale that saw the game discounted to about €1 and the announcement of an offline patch following the messy Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown launch.
Similarly, the game's successor The Crew Motorfest, which is also going to be playable offline once its online life cycle ends, saw a significant increase in players, jumping to similar numbers as TDUSC.
Meanwhile, Rennsport made its Steam debut. Unfortunately, no data is available on how the game performed on the platform, so it remains to be seen how it stacks up against the competition.
