Tokyo Xtreme Racer Makes Its Long-Awaited Return to PlayStation 1

Tokyo Xtreme Racer, a staple of any PS2 library, will makes it long-awaited return to PlayStation.

Japanese developer Genki confirmed overnight that it plans to release its series reboot on the PS5 at some point in the future. A specific date was not announced, but the game has been available in Early Access on PC since January.

The last entry in this franchise to deploy on console was Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 on PS2 in 2003, so this will end the 22-year wait.

Here’s how Genki describes the game:

“Tokyo Xtreme Racer is a racing game set in a sealed-off future Tokyo, where you compete for the fastest speed in your customized cars on the highways that weave through the city, aiming to reach the top. Drive real cars on meticulously recreated courses, compete against powerful rivals, slip through other cars, and engage in spirit-wracking battles.”
