A highly-rated game coming in September 2025 is reviving a classic series for players who fondly remember the PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2, and Sega Dreamcast eras. Despite being just as good as bigger titles like *Borderlands 4*, *Hollow Knight: Silksong*, and *Silent Hill f*, it hasn’t received as much attention.
Genki’s *Tokyo Xtreme Racer* is back after nearly 20 years! While there were a couple of mobile versions, this arcade-style racing series has returned in full force. It launched on Steam this week after an early access period that began in January, and will soon be available on PS5.
One of the Highest-Rated Steam Games of 2025
While Tokyo Xtreme Racer doesn’t have a Metacritic score, it’s been very well-received by players. With over 8,000 reviews on Steam, 96% are positive, earning it the platform’s highest rating of “Overwhelmingly Positive.” Players describe it fondly, with one saying it’s “a PS2 game in 2025 in the best way possible,” and another noting it brought back nostalgic feelings of being a teenager.
User reviews show that *Tokyo Xtreme Racer* is a classic arcade racing game focused on speed and car customization. While simple, it’s a polished and well-designed experience where you race on closed-off streets in a futuristic version of Tokyo.
One player described the game as a welcome return to classic gaming. They praised its nostalgic feel, comparing it favorably to PlayStation 2-era titles. The reviewer appreciated the lack of modern gaming trends they dislike, such as mandatory online connections, in-game purchases, and vast but shallow open worlds.
If you enjoyed classic arcade racers like *Tokyo Xtreme Racer* – whether on PlayStation 1, Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, or Xbox 360 – you should definitely take a look at this new game. It feels like a true continuation of those titles, updating the formula for modern audiences. The game costs $49.99. But if you’re not feeling nostalgic for those old PlayStation racers, don’t worry – more content is on the way soon.
