Project Motor Racing Reviews
Project Motor Racing failed to deliver a competent and realistic racing experience. While it has qualities such as its selection of cars and tracks, as well as customization options, several things fell short. These include an uninteresting visual style and problems with gameplay and customization. In the end, the game is still a minimally interesting option for fans of the genre, but nothing more than that.

Verdict – A Brilliant Sim Trapped in an Unfinished Shell Project Motor Racing is a game of contradictions. Its physics are outstanding, offering one of the most satisfying driving experiences available on Xbox today. Its car classes feel distinct. Its tracks are enjoyable. Its wheel support is impressive. But everything surrounding that driving model — career mode, presentation, accessibility, AI behaviour, achievement design — simply isn’t ready. There is real potential here. With updates, patches, and refinements, PMR could grow into a top-tier sim racing title. But at launch, and after a hefty Patch it’s a game that feels more like a promising foundation than a complete package. For now, Project Motor Racing is a sim with brilliance under the hood, and frustration everywhere else. “Project Motor Racing delivers exceptional driving, but its surrounding systems desperately need work before it can challenge the best on Xbox.”
Project Motor Racing offers a very satisfying driving experience at its best. However, it definitely requires a dedicated steering wheel setup and preferably a group of like-minded people online as opponents.There are also better options on the market that cater to all players.

Project Motor Racing shines as a pure simulation, with a credible and rewarding driving model that appeals to those seeking a strict, uncompromising experience. Yet its strong physics and technical detail are undermined by uninspired gameplay, weak AI, and visuals that lag behind top competitors. It will satisfy hardcore sim racing fans, but may leave others wanting a more polished package. Ultimately, it’s a solid testbed for the GIANTS Engine in racing, though still far from challenging the genre’s heavyweights.

Project Motor Racing is one of the worst releases of 2025. A racing game released at the price of a big-budget title, it is in worse shape than some games that are released in Early Access. Tragic optimization, hopeless AI, poor graphics and UI, and the lack of a visual damage system are some of the most important elements that drag this game down to failure.

Project Motor Racing sets out to create a true-to-life racing experience, and for the most part, it absolutely nails it. The combination of razor-sharp handling, cinematic visuals, and a deep, rewarding career mode has made it the most immersive racing experience I have played on console to date. When everything clicks, the tyre wear, the realistic physics, the interior details and the intensity of the race weekends, it delivers an experience that had me hooked.
Even though Project Motor Racing has these problems, it is made with real love. It brings back the spirit of accurate racing simulations that many fans thought had been lost. It's a satisfying and real journey if you want a detailed, uncompromising racing experience that puts an emphasis on skill, engineering, and the thrill of competition.
Project Motor Racing feels like a game in the very early stages of Early Access, rather than a title ready for its 1.0 release.
Project Motor Racing is an ambitious sim that occasionally delivers the kind of immersive experience it promises — but those moments are surrounded by technical issues, thin content, and missing features.
The career mode is deep and enjoyable, but as previously mentioned, you can’t just race with ease, as there’s a lot of depth involved. So you’re going to play and enjoy Project Motor Racing if you’re looking for something pretty specific: a worthy competitor to physics-heavy racing simulators like Assetto Corsa. I just wish it had more day-one cars, but that’s the collecting obsessed in me talking.
Project Motor Racing is a demanding yet rewarding racing simulator that offers ultra-realistic depth for dedicated sim fans, while proving too unforgiving and inconsistent in realism for casual players.

Straight4 Studios has a game that’s been cooked properly to temperature, but it lacks flavor. Project Motor Racing boasts an impressive roster of cars and tracks, but no real personality to bring it all together. It’s not very welcoming, but if you put in the work, it can be rewarding. The best thing about the game is its career mode, where clawing your way up the ranks makes each victory feel earned. Project Motor Racing is a rookie in the space, but this is a solid entry that those looking for a game geared towards realism and simulation will find plenty of that here, but not much else.
