The Crew may be massive but there is one more racing game on this list that tops it in the size stakes and that’s Asobo Studio’s 2009 racer, Fuel.

If Asobo Studio is setting off bells for you in the realm of enormous open world games it should be and we’ll get to that a little further down this list.

For now, though, let’s talk Fuel. This one takes place on an open-world map that was unfathomably big at the time it was made, and still hasn’t been topped in the racing genre. It covers approximately 5,600 square miles in a true exercise of ensuring quantity and hoping quality would follow. If it succeeded at that or not is in the eye of the beholder, but what cannot be debated is that Asobo managed an incredible feat in providing a world this big with no loading screens. Players will encounter all kinds of crazy weather conditions, it is the post apocalypse after all, as well as a day/night cycle that passes as they play.

It’s worth mentioning that Fuel is procedurally generated so the map size can vary, but there’s still 10,000 miles of road for you to speed down so it’s going to keep you pretty busy.
