9 Best Racing Games For Android – Paid and Free Android Racing Games

So, let’s move on to the list!

1. Asphalt 8: Airborne

Asphalt 8: Airborne is undoubtedly the best Android racing game on our bucket list. It provides an immersive car racing experience. It showcases amazing graphics with comprehensive details. Although you’ll get almost the same experience on any device yet having a device with a better GPU can turn things upside down. The more detailed graphics you can observe, the better will be your gaming experience.

It’s nothing like a typical racing game but explores the extent of car racing with excellent nitro boost power-ups, ghost racing to improve yourself and the enlightening multiplayer experience!  Well, completing the single player race is easier compared to the multiplayer mode. Do you think you have what it takes to be the best gamer? Have it installed and join the multiplayer races to prove who you are!

2. Riptide GP 2 [Paid]

Take your racing to the next level. The Android racing game features rocket-powered hydro jet which makes the race on water intense! The graphics quality of the game is impressive as well. However, it’s a paid game which you can get for $1.99. You’ve got a lot of things to customize. Edit the rider’s appearance, bike’s color, and finally, upgrade the toy with which you go to the race!

Just racing? Nah! Learn incredible stunts to perform which would give you the nitro refill. Keep winning the races and you’ll get enough points to unlock stunts. It isn’t that hard but is still exciting. If you’re planning or have already purchased the game, I just have one thought- What would it be like if launched for Virtual Reality headsets? That would be awesome!

3. Real Racing 3

As the name suggests, you’ll experience real-life racing here. The race tracks are certified to be original. You’ll also get a viewing mode of the steering wheel controlling the car. There’s no fantasy racing features here but real. And, trust me, that doesn’t mean the game is boring, it’s more exciting to experience it.

4. Beach Buggy Blitz

Lovely little characters as racers are the center of attraction. The racing tracks? They are amazing! You get powerups while in the race. When the race starts, the powerups will pop up on the road, and you’ll have to make sure that you’re leading the race! Why? It’s because when one of the players consumes one of the power, the other can’t take it. So, always utilize your big brains to decide which powerup to choose. It’s not just racing, and the powerups will start the fight. You can shoot rockets, homing ghost missiles and more!

5. Need for Speed: Most Wanted [Paid]

Need for Speed is a very popular game title for PC. It’s a paid game though for $5.68. The graphics aren’t as good as Asphalt 8 being an old release. However, they could have given the game a visual overhaul. Nevertheless, the racing experience is fabulous. You get almost similar cars as you get it in the PC game series. If you’re interested in getting a paid game and want less battery to be consumed by it, then this should be your choice. Asphalt 8 takes a lot of battery juice to run. So, it may ruin the gaming experience at some point of time.

6. Asphalt Nitro

Long story short, it’s the mini-version of Asphalt 8 edition. It’s good for those who have either an extremely slow Internet connection or the one who’s low on storage. Well, I found one thing annoying after installing the game, when I launched it, it said- This device is officially not supported!. The device which I’m using is Moto X Play running on Snapdragon 615. I bet this device has enough specifications to handle Asphalt Nitro which comes in a 25 MB package. There’s a possibility that they might have included this type of notification for devices on which they haven’t tested. Well, just to make sure that they don’t get a bad review because they’ve already mentioned that it would run with glitches.

Apart from that, the game has everything you would find on Asphalt 8. You can buy car packs as well. From Class D to Class A you have all the same cars. Nothing is different, other than the downgraded graphics and a compact package.

7. Traffic Rider

You won’t be racing with an opponent here. You are the traffic rider. Drive past the traffic with the full speed. Say what? No, you can’t slow down here. If you do, the time runs out quickly. There are specified laps in the race which gives you time bonus while going through it. It has impressive bikes out there! I love it personally.

8. Asphalt 7: Heat [Paid]

It’s an old iteration of the Asphalt series. It’s a paid Android racing game for $4.99. It doesn’t offer a similar visual quality as you would find while playing Asphalt 8. However, it’s a well-polished game with absolute no glitches, provided that your device supports high-end games.

9. F1 Challenge

Want to experience Formula 1 race? F1 Challenge is one of the best Android racing games you’ve got on the Play Store. However, it’s a paid app for just $1.00. You can easily get this one to experience the furious F1 race. Also, while you play, you would get to know about F1 facts and information as you move up the level. The graphics quality is up to the mark but can’t be expressed as excellent. It seriously needs a visual overhaul to make the gameplay even more exciting.

The Pro Review From TechReviewPro

Some prefer advanced graphics, and some prefer powerful cars while others prefer just about anything related to car racing category of games. So, if you want a futuristic experience, Asphalt 8 and Riptide GP would do the job.

For a realistic approach, Real racing should be the one. To take on with a unique experience, Beach Buggy could be recommended. The rest of them rely on your preferences of what you like or hate. So, what did you choose to be your favorite? Did we miss any of your favorites racing games for Android? Let us know in the comments below.
