If you're a racing game fan, odds are you're either playing Forza Horizon 6 already, or you're patiently waiting for that PS5 version to drop later in the year.
Those in the latter category may be interested to know that one of the generation's most interesting racers now has a playable demo available, and we'd definitely encourage you to give it a shot.
Screamer, which launched at the end of March, is an arcade racing title that combines anime-inspired storytelling with complex, aggressive action, and the result is unlike anything else on the market.
You use the right stick to drift your highly stylised car around winding courses; driving fast builds up boost; and using boosts enables powerful strikes that can knock out opponents.
Each driver has their own special ability too, giving the game a twist of hero shooter for good measure.
I didn't love everything about the game, but I have to give huge respect to Milestone for taking a big swing. It's really refreshing to play a new racer that goes against the grain and tries some fresh ideas.
The demo gives you access to the "early events of the Tournament" — that being the single player campaign.
If you're a fan of racing games I'd absolutely suggest you give it a try. Even if you don't have much interest in the story, the driving and all the mad mechanics it throws around makes Screamer well worth investigating.
Are you planning on playing the Screamer demo? Tell us in the comments section below.

This is so timely as I just completed the (surprisingly addicting) Adventure of Elliot demo. The demo gods are smiling on us lately. Downloading immediately, I've been wanting to try this for a while.
This went on sale in Smyth's today as well. €59.99 (which is already €10 cheaper than digital) down to €39.99 (Smyth's UK pricing no doubt similar).
I'll be picking it up on my way home shortly.
Very interested in trying this demo, and I applaud the Devs for doing things differently.
Playing FH6 on game pass while I wait for a PS5 pro version maybe later in the year. But theres always room for another driving game! 👍
I'm having a blast playing The Crew: Motorfest right now. I'd argue that it scratches a more similar itch to Motorsport, and it's frequently on sale.
I was curious about this one, I'm glad they're offering a demo! Maybe it will go on sale next week?
