Compete against friends in local multiplayer modes, adding a social element to the racing fun.

If you are running Horizon Chase Turbo digitally (via custom packages like NoNpDrm or VPK backups installed through VitaShell), you can drastically improve the game's stability and frame pacing by utilizing standard homebrew plugins.

Given the Vita’s hardware limitations compared to the PS4 or Nintendo Switch, the port does have some technical hiccups. Players have reported noticeable slowdown, particularly during races with heavy weather effects, occasional stutters, and longer-than-average load times of up to 30 seconds per race. Despite these issues, many reviewers agree that the core experience remains intact, providing a faithful and enjoyable arcade racing experience on the go. Its beautiful, low-poly cel-shaded visuals and legendary synthwave soundtrack by Barry Leitch (known for his work on classic racing games like Top Gear ) perfectly capture the retro vibe.

The base game download is approximately 863 MB to 1.5 GB , depending on included updates.
