Game On! Fly the flag in the Gaming World while your real wheels take a break from the tarmac.

Ford invites budding car enthusiasts to test drive their automotive design with Fordzilla hub.

Missing your driving? You don’t have to be. You can still get the Ford engine rumbling and its revs racing, albeit virtually, with the best games to keep the household buzzing.

Not only can scheduled game time add structure to a day and break the monotony of crucial “Stay Home” directives, it can promote family time and friendly competition.

Ford vehicles have appeared in innumerable games, from PC to PlayStation, and Wii to Xbox, with all sorts of gadgets and gizmos to get the best out of your time on track, or tearing up the town from behind the wheel.

Gran Turismo Sport (PlayStation) – 2017

The 13th game in the Gran Turismo series sees 334 cars battle for the sole attention of your controller thumbs, as you tackle 82 track configurations.

From Ford Focus rally cars, STs, and Mustang GTs, you’re spoiled for choice. But it’s hard not to find your way into a Ford V8-powered Shelby Cobra, or the spectacular mid-engine two-seater 2017 Ford GT.

With two game modes – Sports and Arcade – there’s a Nations

Cup, Manufacturers Cup, both with “live” online event components, and a Campaign Mode, where you can take your Ford through driving school, mission challenges and circuit.

Need for Speed (PlayStation, Xbox, Windows, Wii, iOS, Android) – Since 1994

It’s hard to pick which Need for Speed game to play, but it’s nice to have so many options. Starting with the one that requires the least amount of effort, Need for Speed: No Limits (2015) is free, features a Ford Mustang GT as its cover image.

All you need to play it is your phone, with the game app enjoying a heavy focus on street racing, and police avoidance.

If you want to move a bit more, you might lean toward 2012’s Need for Speed: Most Wanted, which boasts a Nintendo Wii U version, replete with limitededition track-orientated Ford Mustang Boss 302. But perhaps the best instalment of the, arguably, most successful video game franchise of all time, is Need for Speed: Rivals (2013).
