1.Asphalt 9: Legends and Asphalt Xtreme

Asphalt 9: Legends is the latest racing game from Gameloft and the latest in the popular Asphalt franchise. It features excellent graphics, solid mechanics, and a metric ton of content to play through. That includes over 800 events, weekly and monthly events, and online PvP action. You also get up to 50 cars to unlock, various upgrades, and more. Its freemium strategy is a little more aggressive than we would normally like.

However, aside from that, it’s a good arcade racing title with some of the best graphics of any racing game. Asphalt 8: Airborne is still actively updated as well if you want a more mature title with the old control scheme.

2. Assoluto Racing

Assoluto Racing is another competent free-to-play racing game in a very packed and competitive segment. It focuses primarily on track racing along with drifting. The game also features pretty decent graphics, simple manual controls, and plenty of events to play through. We like that this has a gas pedal, unlike the most popular game in the segment, Asphalt 9.

Some other game features include online multiplayer along with the ability to purchase, tune, and customize cars. You can change everything from the weight to the gear ratios, making it a hair deeper than many other mobile racing games. It’s not great on lower-end devices, but otherwise, it’s surprisingly good.

3. Beach Buggy Racing 2

Beach Buggy Racing 2 is very similar to games like Mario Kart. It’s a kart racer with various special abilities to give you an edge. Players race across a variety of tracks in a variety of locations, each with its own obstacles. The game includes 45 power-ups, over 40 karts to collect, online PvP, various customizations, and a few different game modes. We do wish it had some tertiary features like offline play and Google Play Games achievements. After all, this is a Vector Unit game, the same developers of the Riptide GP series. The Riptide series has those kinds of features. Otherwise, it’s a good game.

4. CSR Racing 2

The CSR Racing series is one of the most popular racing games out there. CSR Racing 2 is a drag racing game. You’ll be buying cars, adding upgrades, and then racing. It features a campaign mode with plenty of races. You’ll also be able to do online racing against people if you want. There are plenty of cars to collect and the graphics are actually pretty good. It’s a good time killer in the racing genre. CSR Racing 2 is a freemium game. That doesn’t make it bad, but it’s something to be aware of.

5. Dirt Trackin’ 2

Dirt Trackin’ 2 is the sequel to one of the more excellent racing games on mobile. The sequel is also quite good. The game features five classes of cards, a career mode, customizable cards, and a few different control schemes. Additionally, it boasts above average mechanics, varying difficulties, and customizable controls for the player along with PvP multiplayer. Admittedly, the graphics aren’t the best compared to most games on this list, but they are better than the first game in the series. However, the level of customization and the content itself more than makes up for it. This is a cheap premium racer with no in-app purchases or ads.
