The streets of Tokyo are iconic – not only in real life, but also in racing games. The Shuto Expressway in particular stands among one of the most recognizable and unique areas. Developer Genki has a long tradition in bringing these legendary roads into the virtual world, beginning in 1994 with Shutokō Battle '94: Drift King for the Super Nintendo, and the first installment of Tokyo Xtreme Racer in 1999 for the SEGA Dreamcast. With the latest installment in the series, Genki returned to the IP after almost 18 years since the last entry.

What do I need to start racing?
Tokyo Xtreme Racer is available on PC and PlayStation®5.
On PC, you can choose freely between every component of the Fanatec ecosystem without limitations. You can combine any wheel base, steering wheel, pedals, and add-ons without having to worry about compatibility. The CSL DD QR2 Ready2Race Bundle, for example, offers a great entry point into the Fanatec ecosystem, allowing you to also upgrade in the future.
On PS5, you will need a PlayStation®-compatible wheel base. Having a PS-compatible Base will also allow you to choose between any other wheel, pedal set, and add-on, and use them on Sony’s console.
In both cases, you can also use the Fanatec Sim Racing Configurator to guide you to a setup that fits your needs best.
