I tried Bus Simulator 27 on PC, and it’s a super relaxing game… Until it just isn’t

Bus Simulator 27 is set to launch later this year, with a free demo available on Steam until June 22. The demo lacks support for DLSS or FSR, and during testing at 1440p on high settings with an RTX 5090, frame rates ranged from 70-80 FPS, with occasional drops. The AI traffic exhibits erratic behavior, often stopping abruptly and inconsistently adhering to speed limits, leading to penalties for the player in case of collisions. The voice acting can be distracting, interrupting the gameplay experience. The game is priced modestly, with additional content available for purchase, but there are concerns about optimization and AI dynamics that need addressing before the full release.

Sim racing is flourishing, but what happened to the arcade racer?

The author began playing racing games at age five with Lego Racers on a Windows 95 PC, which sparked a passion for cars. They later played Gran Turismo 2 and invested in a Thrustmaster T150 RS racing rig during the pandemic, immersing themselves in Forza Horizon 4. The racing game landscape has shifted towards a dominance of sim racing, overshadowing traditional arcade racing games like Need for Speed and Burnout. Despite the rise of sim racing, it has alienated casual gamers, and even successful sim titles struggle to match the sales of older arcade franchises. Real-world motorsport has become more accessible, attracting new fans, and sim racing serves as an affordable entry point into motorsport. Representatives from the sim racing industry note that many newcomers may transition to real racing, exemplified by YouTubers who have moved from gaming to professional racing. The decline of traditional car games may reflect broader changes in car culture, with fewer young people obtaining driver's licenses, making sim racing a more viable option for motorsport engagement.

You should back up your Forza Horizon 6 save before its latest bug brings you to tears

Forza Horizon 6 players are experiencing significant issues with save data loss, with many reporting that their progress is erased, particularly when using the Quick Resume feature on Xbox or encountering cloud save problems on PC. Certain vehicles, including the 2003 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning and 1994 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta, are suspected to be linked to these issues. Players are advised to avoid these vehicles and disable Quick Resume to mitigate risks. Regular backups of save files are recommended for PC users. In case of data loss, players can contact Forza Support to restore their inventory, but they will still need to restart the campaign and collect items again.
