Car games are video games centered around driving and controlling vehicles. While racing is the most recognizable style, the genre includes much more than crossing the finish line first. Players can explore open worlds, perform daring stunts, drift around corners, complete delivery missions, escape police chases, or even solve driving-based puzzles.

Popular types of car games include:

Racing games – Compete against AI or other players on various tracks.
Driving simulators – Focus on realistic handling, traffic, and road conditions.
Drifting games – Master controlled slides to earn points and style.
Off-road games – Drive across rough terrain using trucks, SUVs, or ATVs.
Parking games – Test your precision by parking vehicles in challenging spaces.
Stunt games – Perform jumps, flips, and tricks on impossible tracks.
