Deal | Steam: Who needs Forza 6 when this 93% positive racer costs just 50 cents?

No game is currently more popular among racing fans than Forza Horizon 6. But those who do not want to spend $70 on the new racer right now do not have to miss out on racing fun. First Racer is considerably more arcade-focused and, of course, does not offer an open world with Japanese flair. However, it has received extremely positive reviews and currently costs less than 1% of the price of Forza. According to SteamDB, the current $0.50 deal once again matches the game’s lowest price to date.

First Racer is a down-to-earth arcade racer focused on the essentials: racing, drifting and off-road events. The controls are fast and direct, with little in common with a simulation. Tuning options are also included. Those who want to test their skills can compete against other drivers in online multiplayer. Players praise First Racer for its fun driving feel and solid amount of content for an indie game.

On Steam, the inexpensive racing game has 93% positive ratings from more than 200 reviews. Some criticism is aimed at occasionally unfair AI behavior and sporadic technical issues. Overall, however, First Racer appears to be a solid racing game for short sessions – and at just 50 cents, it could be an interesting alternative for anyone who currently does not want to spend money on Forza Horizon 6. According to the description, First Racer supports the FANATEC CSL Elite PS4 steering wheel. Other FANATEC steering wheels are also said to work. Steam Deck compatibility is listed as “Unknown”, though user reports suggest that the game runs on the handheld under Proton 11.
