Tokyo Xtreme Racer Wins an Excellence Award at the Japan Game Awards 2025

Genki Inc., based in Nakano, Tokyo, has expressed its excitement over the recognition of its latest racing game, Tokyo Xtreme Racer, which has won the prestigious Excellence Award at the Japan Game Awards 2025.

About Tokyo Xtreme Racer

Making its comeback after 18 years, the Steam® version of Tokyo Xtreme Racer immerses players in adrenaline-pumping races set against the backdrop of real-life, decommissioned highways. Players are challenged to defeat unique rivals on the track as they aim for the coveted title of the fastest racer.

Notably, the game incorporates a unique racing rule known as the SP Battle, which was introduced in the original release for Dreamcast in 1999. This rule allows players to gain an edge by strategically outpacing rivals while engaging in a test of mental strength, occasionally requiring players to block opponents to secure victory. This fierce and competitive environment truly encapsulates a world where only the most determined succeed.

Tokyo Xtreme Racer features an impressive roster of 50 car models from Japan's leading manufacturers. It also includes meticulously recreated parts from 30 renowned aero parts and wheel manufacturers. Players can enjoy the thrilling aspects of Japan's custom car culture while gaining the freedom to craft their dream vehicles within the game. This exhilarating experience promises battles that can only be achieved in the gaming realm.
