2023 wasn’t a banner year for sports or racing games, although it did serve up some solid efforts in the form of the new Forza Motorsport, MLB The Show 23, and more. Will 2024 be a better year? That remains to be seen. It’s always hard to predict what the annualized sports titles will deliver, but we do know the TopSpin franchise is returning, and I’d like to see what MLB The Show 24 pitches us after last year’s addition of the exciting new historical Storylines mode. Lace ‘em and/or gas ‘em up, it’s time for Wccftech’s Most Anticipated Sports and Racing Games of 2024…
Note: Only games with confirmed 2024 release dates are eligible for Wccftech's lists. Stuff that’s only rumored or speculated to be coming is relegated to the honorable mentions.
This year’s big entry in the open-world racing subgenre is Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown. Set in a 1:1 recreation of Hong Kong, the developers of Solar Crown are promising to focus on density and detail rather than sheer map size this time around. That said, don’t worry, there’s still over 600km of drivable roads. Of course, there’s also going to plenty of sweet rides – Solar Crown focuses on the lavish side of life, with cars from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, and more. Get ready to live the virtual high life.
After the disastrous WWE 2K20 derailed the series, developer Visual Concepts have done a solid job of getting their wrasslin’ games back on track. While still far from perfect, WWE 2K23 was a solid step up over the year previous, and hopefully, we see more improvements in WWE 2K24. What those improvement might be, we don’t really know, but I’m fairly confident the team behind this franchise will continue to reach for that brass ring.
