If you are a fan of classic arcade-style racing games such as Out Run and still haven't picked up Horizon Chase Turbo for your Switch, then what are you even doing with your life?
For those who have already taken the plunge, we've got great news for you: the larger than life arcade racer is getting a bit of a makeover with the Summer Vibes DLC (the first-ever DLC to be released for the game) which is out today on PS4 and sometime during August on the Switch. A firm release date for Switch is yet to be confirmed.
Let's a look at some of the hottest Summer Vibes features:
- 1 exclusive tribute convertible car.
- 5 extra unlockable unique special skins.
- 12 remixed races based on the main campaign.
- Each race has a leaderboard (of course!).
The Summer Vibes DLC comes with a new car affectionately called 'Breeze', which is said to be the definition of diversity. It's a tribute to the most classic convertible roadster from the arcades. If the player achieves at least 3rd place, then they will unlock the next skin. Each of the six cars has an interesting story to tell, and will surely bring you fond memories of Summers of yesteryear.
The DLC will cost $1.99 USD / 1.99 EUR.

Is this paid DLC or a free update?
is this free or not?
I'm just curious if this DLC is going to be on the physical cart that releases a week from today. I always go for physical media whenever possible so I'm planning on picking up Horizon Chase Turbo next week, but it annoys the heck out of me when a company finally releases a game physically then leaves out some of the DLC.
Missing a fairly key detail here NL.
IS IT FREE???!!!
Why do people keep using the word "vibes"? Its over used.
Seems like a bummer, I was expecting more content on this DLC... More cars, tracks and a new game mode - online multiplayer perhaps?
Anyway, I'll pick it up at some point, the game is gorgeous.
@Orangezap89 I blame the beach boys.
@BispoSnake That content is coming. Google Horizon Chase Turbo DLC Roadmap
Nice tribute to Out Run, but shame the tracks are just "remixes" and not anything actually new.
"Latest DLC" whilst technically still worded correctly, massively implies that there was DLC prior to it - which there isn't.
Is it free DLC or paid DLC? I'm not going to criticise the omission, it's probably just one of those days, but yea - it would be good to update with this info please.
This is a great game by the way - if you don't already own it, don't let this distinctly average DLC (which I'm assuming is free, so doesn't really deserve any major criticism as a result) put you off buying this game.
I particularly enjoyed playing it in short bursts (one Country at a time in the main mode) whilst at the time playing Diablo 3. It's the perfect pick up and play title to sit alongside another deeper title.
@nocdaes two players is fantastic as well, played with my friend and we were constantly blasting our horns at each other. Loads of laughs.
Updated with DLC price ($1.99 USD / 1.99 EUR)
Ok, not so expensive. I think I will buy it.
That's super-cheap! Great price to get some content to add to the longevity of an already great game, so this DLC is an absolute no-brainer for owners of the game.
For anyone on the fence about this game - get it. It’s great arcade-racer fun and gorgeous too.
@Dazza Nice one, thanks!
Surprised it isn't free... but it's a really solid game, so fair enough. I think I'll wait for the rumoured bigger DLC and then get this one at the same time to then properly revisit the game.
Anyone on the fence about the game, definitely pick it up - even if you wait until it's next on sale.
Stunning game, if you have the means pick it up.
Game crashes any time I play it. No thanks. Not to mention that splash screen hiccup with the intro music.
Hope they can fix the menus so my game stops crashing. Only switch game that's ever crashed for me.
I'm enjoying the game a bit. But I didn't ''buy'' it. I got it from PS Plus. It's pretty nice but I don't know if I'd truly buy it.
@tendonerd sorry to hear, please email our team at support(at)aquiris.com.br and we will do our best to help you as soon as possible.
To many guys : do you all work for free ?
I love this game to bits, but this is just a convertible version of a car that's already in the game. The game does have quite a substantial amount of content already, so I don't really need this.
@Mycroft The music really is beautiful. I knind of wish there were a couple more tunes, but what's there is amazing.
@SegaBlueSky more content is more content. The game already feels like it has far more than others trying to modernize the arcade racer genre.
Awesome game BUT I was hoping for much larger tracks.. or a straight cruise through the State with multiple paths. Still.. Really fun racer with an arcade feel.
Isn't "Breeze" the name of one of the music cuts in OutRun?
Love this game, and will definitely grab the DLC. Appreciate when the devs pop in for a comment too, so thanks @JesusFabre
My one dream for the game is an in-car view, as that's how I like to race. But yeah, anyone on the fence should grab it - it's perfect for a few races on the go, which always seem to trick me into having 'just one more turn'...
Does this have a drift mechanic at all? I can see it doesn’t have anything like OutRun2 but curious if there’s anything at all
@Bondi_Surfer thanks, passed your suggestion to the team. Thanks also for the great words, we will keep improving the game
£2 for some extra car skins and the campaign mixed up? Is it really worth it?
@Orangezap89 lol agree with u, "it is what it is", oh boy how I hate that saying...
I hope we get some new tracks (More European countries) in future DLCs.
Just downloaded this, more stuff is definitely just what the doctor ordered. Looking forward to the next batch of DLC. How about some more countries?
