Anime racer Screamer no longer demands you retrain your fingers, with a fresh patch adding single stick drift controls
Both James and I dug anime-styled arcade racer Screamer when we gave a verdict on it earlier this year, but one aspect that raised both of our eyebrows was the game's unorthodox twin stick drift controls. Usually, steering and sliding in racing games are managed by the one singular controller stick, keeping things simple and intuitive, but Milestone opted to make you kick out the tail with a second stick instead. It feels fine once you get used to it, but is the kind of thing that could bounce f

Anime Racing Game Screamer's Latest PS5 Update Lets You Turn Off Its Right Stick Drifting
Normal drifting or bust. Earlier this year saw the launch of Screamer, one of the most interesting and unique racing games available on PS5. A new patch, available now, allows you to make it a little less interesting and unique, if you like. Announced and released today, the latest game update for Screamer can be installed now, and the main attraction is a new control option that completely changes how the game plays.

Screamer’s multiplayer chases unleash the racer’s full chaotic potential, trapping you inside a relentlessly boosty, bashy, and boomy washing machine
When James and I published our impressions of anime racer Screamer the other week, I mentioned I was keen to give its online races a go once it’d pulled out of the garage. Would the sights and sounds of sliding around its twisty tracks and slamming into real people make for as much fun as I’d had racing the computer in its story mode?

Arcade racer Screamer’s first update nerfs AI difficulty, with an "additional balance pass" coming soon
If you read our verdict over the weekend, you’ll know that Mark and I found the anime-flavoured Screamer reboot to be a delightfully exaggerated bit of slidey arcade racing – albeit one that, in the story-based Tournament mode, sometimes becomes randomly, viciously hard for no readily apparent reason. Judging by Screamer’s first update, which launched yesterday alongside game access for Digital Deluxe pre-orderers, those difficult spikes were an oopsie on the part of developers Milestone. Rather

RPS Verdict: Anime racer Screamer slides sideways into success with its colourful, characterful driving
Ed (RPS in peace) has, finally, posthumously, got his wish: another Screamer. This one’s gone all cyberpunk and/or anime-styled, with a heavy focus on story – it follows multiple, multinational merc-drivers entering a lightly murderous racing tournament – but can it still deliver on drifty driving thrills? After much practice, Mark and James both avoided clattering into the track barriers long enough to find out.
