Just 5% of racing fans play ‘Arcade Racers’ on PlayStation...

With Forza Horizon 5 set to come to PlayStation 5 next month, Sony’s console will soon have one of the biggest arcade racers of all time on its platform. In anticipation of this, analysts have broken down just how popular the racing game genre is between PlayStation and Xbox – revealing some interesting stats.
Ampere Analysts have published a new report on the current breakdown of the racing game genre across both PlayStation and Xbox ahead of the (likely massive) launch of Forza Horizon 5 on PS5.
Based on data gathered from 45 PlayStation markets (and 32 Xbox regions), 63% of all racing game players on PlayStation prefer the Sim sub-genre; followed by Action-Racers (31%) and last but also least Arcade Racers at just 5.2%.

On the opposite side, Xbox players flock to Arcade Racers the most (44%) followed by Racing Sims (39%) and finally Action Racers (16.9%).
Given the fact that the PS5-exclusive Gran Turismo is a sim racer, and Forza Horizon is a more arcadey approach to the genre, this breakdown makes a lot of sense.
That said, it will be interesting to see how these figures shift on the PlayStation front following the upcoming release of Forza Horizon 5 for PS5 – especially as pre-orders appear strong so far.
