Things are back to normal at the top of the list for most played racing games on Steam in October 2024: After The Crew 2 leapfrogged everyone following the announcement of an offline mode being implemented and the game being severely discounted. The Crew 2 dropped down the order a bit, with BeamNG.drive, Forza Horizon 4 and 5 taking back the podium spots.
The biggest surprise, however, can be found a bit further down: DiRT Rally 2.0 actually posted a new all-time player peak record in October, eclipsing the 3,486-player mark set in March of 2021 at 5,074. A recent poll here on OverTake showed that most of our community actually prefers DR2.0 over the newer EA Sports WRC - and the price for the older rally title dropping to as low as €1.99 in late October certainly helped, too.
