The 25 Best Auto Racing Games for iPhone and iPad (iOS)

Updated by Ivan Spasojevic on October 31, 2024 – 3 games exchanged


There was a time when you couldn't move for autorunners on the App Store. These compact arcade action games distilled the essence of the platformer and racing game genres and mixed an endless high-score chase mechanic.

Even though the market is no longer saturated with auto-runners nowadays, they are still released quite frequently. Aside from perhaps the match-3 puzzle, we'd say the autorunner is the most popular genre in all smartphone games all along.

Why? The suitability of the genre for mobile gaming is an important factor. Often taking just a few minutes and a single screen input (even if tapped multiple times) to play a round, a good autorunner offers the perfect gaming experience between stops.

Plus, there's a decent amount of room for freestyle beyond this basic template. There are 3D Autorunners, 2D Autorunners, Racing Autorunners, Roguelike Autorunners, Shooter Autorunners, RPG Autorunners – the list goes on.

Hopefully we have reflected some of this diversity in the following list.

You may be wondering why we no longer call it the “endless runner” genre, as we often did. The reason is simple: some of these games have a defined end and don't simply require you to keep going until you drop.
