Live for Speed is getting bigger in 2025 with the big update. This new update provides some improvements towards graphics and realism of the popular PC game freeware. Live for Speed was born in 2002 as an alternative to, you guessed it, Need for Speed which back in the day was extremely popular compared to now where you barely hear the name anymore. The game is totally free to download from the official site and you can buy additional content to support the indie developers behind it. The more we help indie developers means that triple A companies will have to adapt.
Live for Speed got bigger
Day and Night cycles have been added to the game, which makes things more stunning to look at and give it a sense of realism that some other games in the genre struggle with. Along with this change, a ton of tracks have also been updated, featuring some new polish that makes them feel out of a Gran Turismo game when you look at them. The most important feature of them all is that the game is actually using all the threads of your CPU instead of a single one, this will help improve the performance of people who runs multiple cores.
It cannot be stated enough, but many games seem to not take advantage of the fact that people are running CPUs with more than a single core in today’s day and age. It is true that doing optimization like this can be hard but it is worth it to help the people who are unable to afford more powerful computers that can do more with a single core instead of all of them working as a team. Live for Speed also supports modding and the community is quite welcoming, if you are craving for some racing without blowing up your setup you should try it out.
