Most titles offer online multiplayer; several also support local multiplayer (including split-screen or LAN). A subset highlight cross-platform play and social features for competing with friends. Exact options vary by game, so check each title’s feature list for specifics.

Open-world racing emphasizes free-roam exploration, hidden shortcuts, ramps, stunts and crash mechanics, encouraging discovery and spontaneous events.
