About This Game

An open-world arcade racer whose defining trick is seamless transformation: a single button morphs your car into a plane or boat on the fly, letting a race route weave from highway to harbor to sky. The map is its other headline, a compressed but genuine model of the whole United States, dotted with disciplines from street racing to aerobatics to offshore powerboating.

The tension critics and players keep returning to is scope against substance. The scale and vehicle range are real draws, but the handling stays light and bouncy rather than weighted, the AI leans on conspicuous rubber-banding, and progression grinds before it rewards. Rated Teen and included on PS Plus Extra, it suits players who want casual coast-to-coast freedom over a racer with simulation depth or a strong campaign.

Highlights

  • Explore a massive open-world map based on the USA.
  • Switch between cars, boats, and planes seamlessly in races.
  • Engage in diverse gameplay modes including PvP and single-player.
  • Participate in live events and seasonal updates for new content.
  • Customizable vehicles with extensive tuning options.
  • Stunning graphics and immersive environments.
  • Unique community-driven challenges and goals.
