'Horizon Chase Turbo' (ALL) Gets Nintendo Switch and Xbox One Date, New Features - Trailer

Horizon Chase Turbo is a homage to classic 16-bit racers that defined a generation of high-speed, frenetic arcade fun.

Horizon Chase Turbo is a pedal-to-the-metal arcade racer inspired by the trailblazing 90s-era classics.

Horizon Chase Turbo delivers neck-break speed, original gameplay, tight controls, new features and content designed specifically to highlight the nostalgic feel of classic racers on next-generation technology. The game marks a resurgence of couch co-op, where up to four players can compete in multiplayer campaigns, intense tournaments and endurance trials as they race around the globe.


The Switch and Xbox One versions will be the firsts to receive a brand new game mode called “Playground”, consisting of a set of live challenges that will be updated regularly so that players can keep competing in the online leaderboards, and exclusive content for each platform to be announced soon.

“Horizon Chase Turbo on Nintendo Switch captures the best of the already released versions (with a 97% positive review rate on Steam) and brings back the classic racing genre to the hybrid console. We believe modern and old-school fans will appreciate it”, affirms Amilton Diesel, Technical Art Director at Aquiris.

“We created Horizon Chase Turbo to be the racing game we wanted to play, hitting the sweet spot between true-to-life simulators and chaotic, explosive kart racers,” said Aquiris Studio Game Designer, Felipe Dal Molin. “With Horizon Chase Turbo, we want players to feel the nostalgic tension of the simple tug-of-war of a tight turn; where players are run off-road for a split second only to return to intense high-speed action as they overtake and battle against friends playing together on the couch or via the online ghost mode.”

Pre-orders are already available on Nintendo’s hybrid console, they will soon be available on Xbox One.

Although there’s a deep and extensive single-player mode, Horizon Chase Turbo uses split-screen multiplayer modes to create a magical local multiplayer experience.

Aside from the modernly retro graphics, the split-screen couch multiplayer modes are among Turbo’s most defining features. All game modes, including the World Tour campaign, tournament and endurance challenges support local split screen multiplayer up to four players. Racers can compete in head-to-head races one at a time, or spend hours racing around the globe collecting coins to achieve the common goal of unlocking exotic vehicles and spinetingling tracks.

Key Features:

  • Thrilling arcade racing game, inspired by Outrun, Top Gear, Lotus Turbo Challenge, and others
  • Modern high quality graphics and UI
  • Amazing old-style split screen multiplayer up to 4 players
  • Music by Barry Leitch, Sound Designer in 90s racing classics such as Top Gear and Lotus Turbo Challenge, among others
  • Tons of content: 12 Cups, 48 Cities, 110 tracks, 26 Unlockable Cars and 10 Upgrades
  • Challenge your friends in the Ghost Mode and in the Leaderboards.
  • 4 Game Modes: World Tour, Playground, Tournament, and Endurance.

Currently available on PS4 and PC, Horizon Chase Turbo will be coming to Nintendo Switch and Xbox One on Nov. 28, 2018.
