About This Game

An open-world arcade racer built around a recreated Oahu and a festival framing, where progression is split into Playlists: themed campaigns that move from Japanese street tuning to American muscle to off-road runs up a volcano. The pull is the new handling model, grippy but loose enough to stay playful, and the sheer variety of cars, bikes, and boats packed into one island. It plays less like a sequel to The Crew than a rival to Forza Horizon.

That resemblance is the whole debate. Critics rate it the strongest entry in the series and a genuine challenger to Horizon, while the recurring knock is that it borrows that blueprint wholesale and locks everything behind an always-online connection. Rated Teen and free to sample on PS Plus Extra, it suits anyone who wants the Horizon style of open-world racing on PlayStation, and underwhelms those hunting for something the genre has not already done.

  • Variety of vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, and planes
