Horizon Chase Turbo races to the Switch

If you still play Out-Run in any of its form from time to time (love the PSP Coast 2 Coast version), Horizon Chase should be right up your tyre-mark scuffed street. Horizon Chase Turbo pays homage to those classic 16-bit racing games with simple and tight controls paired with precision gameplay and detailed depth.

The Switch version, out this week, comes with Playground mode, a brand new car, custom paint jobs, and exclusive cars. Horizon Chase Turbo’s head-to-head split screen multiplayer and catchy contemporary chiptune-style music add to the action, with:
  • High Definition graphics
  • Thrilling arcade racing game, inspired by Outrun, Top Gear, Lotus Turbo Challenge, and others
  • Amazing old-style split-screen multiplayer up to 4 players
  • Music by Barry Leitch, Sound Designer in 90s racing classics such as Top Gear and Lotus Turbo Challenge, among others
  • 12 Cups, 48 Cities, 109 tracks, 32 Unlockable Cars, and 12 Upgrades
  • 4 Game Modes: World Tour, Playground, Tournament, and Endurance.
  • Challenge your friends in the Ghost Mode and in the Leaderboards.
