Update: And it's official!
Original Story: Remember Horizon Chase? We reported on this Top Gear and Out Run-inspired racer back in 2015, when it was reported that the title - which later launched on smart devices - would also be coming to consoles.
It may have taken longer than expected, but the game is indeed making the leap to home systems in an updated form. Horizon Chase Turbo is currently confirmed for PS4 and Steam, but Brazilian developer Aquiris Game Studio seems keen to also bring it to Switch, posting on Facebook:
We'll work to make Horizon Chase Turbo possible for Nintendo Switch after PS4 and Steam release!
Horizon Chase Turbo comes with a split-screen multiplayer mode as well as new cars and tracks. Let us know if you'd like to see this one on Switch by posting a comment.

Day one for me. Not only I was a huge Lotus Esprit / Top Gear trilogy fan on Amiga / SNES respectively, the music by Barry Leitch seals the deal for me.
Great news, would love this on Switch! Just wish it wasn't taking second priority behind PS4 and PC as the Switch is just such a perfect fit for it.
I love Outrun so I may get Horizon Chase Turbo. I guess I will just get on PS4 though, I won't wait for it to be released on Switch.
This one is screaming Outrun
As someone that has been waiting for years for the PS4 version, I'll believe it when I see it.
Kansai Durifto !
The Switch is perfect for arcade racers!! I would buy this day one!
I was sooooooo hoping this would come to the switch. Loved it on my phone! Day one for me too...
Outrun in a multicolored VW van? SOLD
I had a Mega Drive, not a SNES, but I loved Top Guear.
Day one buy for me if the price is right!
I've been drooling over this a long time. Please bring it to my baby.
Nice game. Try it on android !!!
Looks cool, might get it. Does anyone remember the name of the Outrun style game on the 3DS which was reviewed a few months ago?
@Shiryu Amen, brother. Those were some of my favorite racers on the Amiga too. Those, and Jaguar XJ220...
(and Crazy Cars 3 aka Lamborghini American Challenge as well)
@ThanosReXXX Thanks for that video.... you made me cry - in a goog way.
@smyr You're welcome. Took me about an hour to actually find a clip with just engine noises, and all I got for my trouble is that low resolution video. I almost didn't post it, but I hate playing those kind of games with music alone. Love me some engine noises...
@ThanosReXXX Kids will never know how hard it was to make this with only 4 audio channels.
@Shiryu Indeed. Then again: most of today's AND yesterday's greatest songs are also made with just 2 - 4 chords...
@wazlon That would be 80s Overdrive, and it's a fun, if somewhat demanding, Outrunish game!
No online = No buy
For as cool as this looks I hate the fact it is coming from a smartphone. There’s just this stigma that I attach... maybe the wealth and quality of most of these ports will help me shake that feeling over time. Otherwise this does indeed look cool!
I want chase HQ
No online - has me interested - same as the flight one earlier - as soon as I read online it worries me that no or little attention has been paid to single player which is An on going trend that has infected video games.
The more games that concentrate on a good single player engine and then perhaps add multiplayer later - the better
So many classic games being mentioned in here - Lotus and using password like “pea soup” ha - outrun and @Lord Chase HQ!! Yes please
Anyone remember the Beatle challenge game on the N64?? I loved that game and it didn’t do well at all! Ha that and the top gear games on n64 took up a lot of my time at Uni
@RyanSilberman @wazlon
80s Overdrive is it. And I love it!! It’s a perfect fit on the 3DS. If you love old school arcade racers, do yourself a favor and pick it up.
Oh, I love Horizon Chase on Phone and AppleTV. Reminds me of those old Lotus days on Amiga.
Even if it‘s a mobile game, it is high quality, great music, good game mechanics, and no P2W.
I've just bought a PS4. I'd like to have this game both on PS4 and on Switch. I don't play mobile games but I tried this on Android and it is great!
Day one for me! I love the art style on display here
All you have to say is "launched first on smart devices" to make me instantly know it's probably junk.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
@Agent721 Sure, will pick up 80's Overdrive soon. Thanks.
Man. This looks so awesome! I'm such a little 80's nerd, and this reminds me so much of my childhood, and the arcade & grill I'd go to with my dad. Oh... the brown walls, ashtrays and smell of fries. I really haven't played anything like this since the Amiga 500...except in Yakuza 0
This has now been confirmed for Switch
Looks neat, cool to see it has 4 player split screen too. Hopefully it's reasonably priced may pick this up.
Great to have official confirmation on this. I love the game on my iPhone, and will definitely be picking this up on Switch. Bring on the racing games!
another waiting game...
Now this looks pretty cool!
Semi-related: I want a remake or sequel of Beetle Adventure Racing from the N64... or at least a racing game in the same style.
So happy about this. For me, Horizon Chase is the most fun racer on mobile!
@The_Pixel_King I totally agree! I have completed beyond 100% !
I will wait till I can get a hands on, I've just been burnt by Gotcha racing.
Looks good. I thought it was going to be like Race The Sun, but with cars, but, still looks like fun.
Disappointed it’s not being released first on Switch but I guess that means we’ll find out if it’s worth a purchase well beforehand.
I put in a TON of time with this game on my iPad with a controller last summer. If you enjoy Outrun this is a must buy! Super high quality game and lots of content.
but the draw distance is sooo short!
Day one for me too.
Began on mobile? Pass.
I'm really torn. I do not trust mobile-originated games to be high quality, but I really want a new racer. It doesn't have to be mad technical, I'd be happy with a Hot Pursuit clone. But mobile racers always seem to be a bit cheesy, at least the ones I've played.
@Stocksy Beetle Adventure Racing? It was so much fun, my brother and I put hours upon hours into.
@JasmineDragon
This is an exceptional game. I got it for $3 on my iPad and I felt like I stole it. It's the closest thing to a Top Gear sequel I could have hoped for.
Great to finally see a release date on this. I cannot wait. Hopefully they wont be too long in bringing it to the switch.
@JasmineDragon It's an arcade racer, if that's not your thing dont buy it, it's origin is irrelevant.
@xPH03N1Xx86 It is a unloved classic that game, not sure I still have a copy - might see how rare it is and pick it up if its cheap!
@Stargazer Good to know, thanks!
@Alto
Same here Alto.
Gives me the creeps when a game is actually made for phones...
