Project CARS 2 is a racing video game that features over 170 cars that can compete on 60 paved, ice-, snow-, dirt-, and mud-covered tracks. The game’s team used LIVETRACK 3.0 technology to create “create dynamic real-time weather & seasonal effects, track surface conditions & time-of-day changes, and implement advanced tire grip/wear physics”. They hope that this immersive AI experience will help gamers to live out their racing fantasies. The game will also be presented at up to 12K with VR support. This resolution can be accomplished by linking inking three 4K PC monitors together.

The original Project CARS was released in May 2015 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The game was well received and sold one million copies in its first month. Fans were so excited about the game, that the developers announced on June 22, 2015 that they were going to make a sequel.


The game is still available and has sold over two million copies since its release date. The game is going to be made free from February 16 - March 16, 2017 with the Xbox Free Games Gold program.
