Hotshot Racing

Hotshot Racing is a 2020 racing video game developed by Lucky Mountain Games and Sumo Digital, and published by Curve Digital. An arcade-style racer, it draws visual and gameplay inspiration from 1990s titles of that style, such as Virtua Racing (1992) and Ridge Racer (1993). Developed over more than 10 years, the game was released on 10 September 2020 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows and Xbox One. The game received mixed reviews. Critics praised its artstyle, its evocation of its 1990s arcade racer influences, its various gamemodes, and its gameplay design. Track design, the design of the computer opponents, and the amount of content drew criticism.
