Already released on Nintendo Switch 2, new arcade racer 4PGP is an immediacy few modern games can muster; I mean, the name alone gets straight to the point – 4PGP stands for 'Four-Player Grand Prix'. Picking 'Quick Race' really does just drop you onto the starting grid, the lights tick down to green, and the pack is charging off into the first corner. No instructions, no onboarding, just racing as we did it back in the '90s.
