The 12 zodiac signs are each associated with certain character traits, elements, and images. You're probably familiar with them, even if you don't know all twelve, from popular culture. Given what we know about you from your zodiac sign, can we predict what racing game you'll enjoy?
The racing genre has exploded (along with the rest of the video game world) and tons of different kinds have been introduced. While we usually think of cars when we think of racing, who's to say you can't enter a digital horse or bike race? Below, we've detailed recommendations of the best racing games for each zodiac sign!
12 Aries - Wreckfest
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and, accordingly, people born under this sign love to be first, to win, to be on top! It's a fire sign, which is generally associated with passion and movement. Aries people in particular love to take on a challenge.
If you're an Aries, we suggest one of the most intense racing games on the market: Wreckfest. It's a racer combined with a demolition derby, so you can expect lots of incredible crashes and explosions, all of which get the attention to detail that they deserve! If you find that you enjoy the game, there's also a dedicated modding community to explore.
11 Taurus - Art of Rally
People who are born under the Taurus sign are patient, but full of energy when it's called for. They enjoy the pleasures of life and can be found loafing around in the sun, but they are no slackers when it's time to pick up the pace. Appropriately, they're represented by the bull.
Art of Rally, which we think Tauruses should try out, is a game by the indie developer Funselektor Labs Inc. It is specifically interested in rally racing, so the gameplay is different from many other racing simulators. The tracks are made even more enjoyable by the stylized art and a range of vintage cars to choose from.
10 Gemini - SpeedRunners
Gemini are stereotypically full of energy. They long to be everywhere all at once, because their curiosity just cannot be sated! Friends and family usually describe them as unpredictable, playful, and energetic.
For a Gemini gamer, SpeedRuners may be the best racing game out there! You and the other players control heroic characters who are competing in a footrace against one another. Special abilities and exciting environments make the gameplay even more engaging; you'll never get bored, trust us!
9 Cancer - Rival Stars Horse Racing
Cancer signs are represented by the crab; crabs live life partially in the water and partially on land, which is analogous to the way that Cancer signs are thought to exist partially in the spiritual world and partially in the material world. This makes Cancers very intuitive people, but not oblivious to the world around them.
We recommend a unique game for Cancers: Rival Stars Horse Racing. Not only are you racing the horses, but you're also raising them! The game includes dedicated stats and an in-depth breeding system for you to micromanage your way to the best horse and the largest trophies.
8 Leo - Riders Republic
Leo is a fire sign and people born under it are best known for their dramatic flair! They love the spotlight and perform like a pro. Along with this naturally comes a passion for life and a fierce loyalty to those they love.
Riders Republic matches the dramatic energy of a Leo a hundred times over! It's basically a huge playground where you can choose from between four sports: biking, skiing, snowboarding, or wing suiting. There are tons of live events to participate in and ways to customize your character to add a sprinkle of personality to gameplay. Plus, have we mentioned that 50 players can all enjoy it together online?
7 Virgo - Redout: Enhanced Edition

Virgo is an earth sign that is usually represented by a goddess of agriculture. This speaks to their down-to-earth nature; along with that comes a natural inclination to logical, practical thinking. They are willing to pour hours into a project to get the results they want, or into a craft to master it.
Virgos will need to rely on their connection with the physical to keep them grounded in this fast paced racing game! Redout describes itself as a tribute to old beloved racing games like F-Zero, POD, and WipeOut. This arcade racing experience isn't like any other, and the beautiful graphics, unique tracks, and fast-paced music only add to the attraction!
6 Libra - Forza Horizon 5
Libras are an air sign represented by the scales. They are obsessed with balance in life, which tends to come out in all sorts of ways: justice in law, symmetry in art, equality in social justice, and more!
As far as balance goes, you can't go wrong with Forza Horizon 5. The game is designed to give you a really realistic driving experience (if that's what you're looking for). It's set in Mexico, where the weather and seasons will change in real time, there are dozens of unique terrains to drive through, and cars to chose from which will determine the quality of your driving.
5 Scorpio - Burnout Paradise Remastered
Scorpio is a hard sign to pin down in one place. Generally, people born under it are thought to be mysterious and aloof, cool as a cucumber under pressure. Their emotional energy sustains them, even making some people call them psychic.
Burnout Paradise has been a beloved driving simulator for years, and the modern day is no exception. Scorpios will find Burnout to be just as varied and changeable as they themselves are; there are tons of game modes to enjoy and limitless potential in an enormous open world. The remastered edition includes special new features and cars, renewing an experience that was already a true treat.
4 Sagittarius - Descenders
Sagittariuses are free spirits first and foremost. Whether they're inclined to like spiritual adventures, physical adventures, or intellectual adventures, a Sagittarius is always doing something new; they can't get enough! It's the final fire sign of the zodiac, so it undeniably makes for intense people, but it's also prone to give them a taste for exploration.
We recommend Descenders for its adrenaline-pumping action and ever-changing gameplay. The worlds are procedurally generated, so no two experiences are the same but fails will have tough consequences. Players can even choose from tons of different bikes (although everyone inevitably has their favorites).
3 Capricorn - SnowRunner
Capricorns are the epitome of the phrase 'slow and steady wins the race.' They are dedicated workers with a drive that doesn't quit on them - or, at least, not for long! This can come across as bossy and/or micromanage-y in group settings, but a Capricorn is your best bet to get the work done on time.
SnowRunner is an appropriate choice for the intense Capricorn gamer. It's a driving simulator where you drive heavy-duty vehicles in intimidating environments, like up a snowy mountain or through a dense forest. The missions in the game give you a clear goal, and up to four people can play together at once.
2 Aquarius - Dog Sled Saga
Aquarius is an air sign (though you could easily be fooled by the 'aqua' thing) that is often thought of as a revolutionary, a progressive, and a rebel! Despite their love of originality, Aquariuses can also be sensitive. Interpersonal relationships matter a lot to them, and they are often depicted as the healer, with an important role to play in nurturing their community.
What better choice than an indie game for a sign that loves to stand out? Dog Sled Saga is about a dogsledding team that you foster over time to develop their skills. As they grow, you'll find that their abilities will change and expand based on how you've treated them! The racing portion involves managing the hazards on the track and your dogs' hunger.
1 Pisces - Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Pisces is a sign represented by two fish swimming together. People born under it tend to be incredibly empathetic and personable. As the last sign in the zodiac, it's thought that Pisces has absorbed all the lessons to be learned from the previous signs; this makes them wise, calm, and friendly.
For this sign, we recommend a fan-favorite: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe! To start, it's the ideal game for playing with friends. It can support a lot of players: four on one console and eight if there are two or more consoles. In addition, Mario Kart is what you make out of it. If you want to be the best of the best, you can learn about the best karts and racers and the most difficult tracks. If you just want to mess around in a world full of your favorite Nintendo characters, there are lots of aids to make sure you have a good experience.
