Comment on Any good racing games you have been doing on the deck?

Motortown has by far the most realistic and fun driving mechanics of any game that will run on the deck besides beamng, and the fun thing about Motortown is all the different jobs like taxi, trucking, pizza delivery and many others. It has racetracks and a custom racemaker but it isn’t strictly a racing game though I almost exclusively play it as such (timed taxi rides)

Offroad Mania is a rockcrawling semi-racer. It has superb handling.

Don’t sleep on the open source (with splitscreen) Stunt Rally 3, it is on the Discover app store in desktop mode.

I accidentally put myself on the top 10 board for highest level taxi driver for a bit (I am like top 20) just because the driving feels THAT dialed and I can treat it like a chill open world point to point racer on my steam deck that I can pause or put into autopilot whenever I want.
Like I don’t really care enough to pursue getting back on the leaderboard, the driving just feels so good my ADHD brain was actually able to focus on something repetitive and incremental enough to be competitive and it briefly made me feel like a wizard.
Have you tried powersliding the box van yet? Put the biggest engine you can into it, load it up with fragile vases and other delicate delivery items, put it into drift mode and then start ripping the most massive, nearly industrial sized powerslides you have ever seen.
… or get a garbage truck and get into the zen of being chill and collecting trash, you do you, that is another reason I love Motortown, it is about giving you complete agency in the driving vibes you want while being challenging and rewarding.

mostly ive just been focused on learning how to rescue and tow wrecks with as little damage as possible using the starting towtruck, but I’m def gonna try taxi racing and box van power sliding next! those sound rad!
