Developed by Midway, this futuristic sequel to the Rush series pushed the boundaries of what racing games could be, combining speed, creativity, and pure adrenaline into one unforgettable experience.

Battle mode brought chaotic multiplayer combat to the table, adding replayability and party-game appeal. The futuristic visuals, catchy soundtrack, and tight controls helped solidify it as a complete and polished arcade package.
Bringing Rush 2049 to GOG would preserve this piece of arcade history and make it playable on modern PCs with controller support, online multiplayer options, and GOG’s DRM-free philosophy. It’s more than nostalgia — it’s about honoring a game that broke boundaries and continues to inspire arcade racing fans today. Simply put, Rush 2049 is Midway’s greatest racing masterpiece.
