What drives the score
How to read this
Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work
- How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $11.99. That was August 2026. 3 discounts in the 6 years on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 285 weeks apart.
Value puts it in the top 14 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, F1® Manager 2024 ($10.49, scores 64) beats it on value, while it beats Forza Motorsport ($69.99, scores 3).
Players rate it 92 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 84 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 700 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 19 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 40 percent of the 154 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.
