Heading Out News

Beautiful new racing game is like Forza Horizon made by Rockstar

There aren't enough racing games that put a strong focus on storytelling. In a genre dominated by the likes of Forza Horizon 5, The Crew Motorfest, and Dirt Rally 2, it's always worth noting when a racer pops up that places an emphasis on its story, like this year's Pacific Drive or 2011's Driver: San Francisco. This is part of what makes Heading Out, a driving game that pulls from Grand Theft Auto V's crime focus and RPG game branching plotlines, so noteworthy.

Heading Out is OUT NOW

The time is finally here, and we are thrilled for Heading Out to release today!

This has been a long time coming; we have been working on Heading Out for more than 4 years, surviving the pandemic, and switching publishers in the process. There were times when we had to borrow money to carry on with this project, but we always believed that Heading Out was worth the risk. In the end, we are here, at the finish line, showing you the game that means the world to us and wishing it will mean something special for you too.

We truly can’t wait to hear from each of you about your own journeys through America’s cities and down the highways and backroads. So don't be afraid to leave a comment or contact us directly - especially if you find a bug, we will fix it ASAP.

If you’re new here - welcome! - Heading Out is a part narrative adventure, part roguelite, and part racing game greatly inspired by cult-classic road movies like Thelma & Louise and Vanishing Point (and Two-Lane Blacktop, does anyone remember it?). Choose your route across the USA on an unpredictable thrill ride blending white-knuckle racing, strategy, and storytelling.

Grab the wheel, slam your foot on the gas, and let’s go for a ride. And have a great time playing!
-Serious Sim

PS: Very small and weird thing to note, but this is how we are. This launch version of Heading Out is version 0.8 instead of your typical 1.0. Why? 'Cause we forgot to change the build number. Oh, the shame!

Heading Out is a stylish, narrative-focused driving game inspired by classic road flicks of the '70s and '80s

If you've ever seen the 1971 cult-classic film Vanishing Point, Heading Out will be almost immediately familiar: It's a stylish "narrative-adventure driving game" inspired by great road flicks of the past that puts players behind the wheel of a mighty muscle car and on the run from the police and the ever-present fear that's never far behind...
