The game lets you choose a variety of cars and drivers, and play head to head against the computer, or locally with a friendly in multiple modes of race challenge.
However, unlike the original title that made the mark for letting 5 players race simultaneously, the Moto Roader by Ratalaika Games for PlayStation and Xbox supports up to 4 players. If you want to do 5 players local co-op, you have to opt for the Switch version.
The digital release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, and Nintendo Switch is set for February 25 release. Meanwhile here’s the game launch trailer for your enjoyment:
