OutRun Online Arcade is a download-only racing game developed by Sumo Digital and published by Sega for the Xbox 360 (Xbox Live Arcade) and PlayStation 3 (PlayStation Network). The PS3 version was exclusive to Europe.

The game is based upon OutRun 2 and is the most recent game in the OutRun series.

The game was de-listed from the PlayStation Network in October 2010 while the Xbox Live Arcade version was scheduled to be de-listed in December of 2011[8] although it was finally de-listed in January of 2012. The title was de-listed because of expiring contracts with Ferrari.

Gameplay

OutRun Online Arcade is a stripped-down version of the 2004 arcade game, OutRun 2 SP. It features the 15 tracks from the Americas, the ten Ferrari cars from that game, and is missing most of the content from previous home ports. It does, however, run with a much higher screen resolution.
