If you tire of the ultra-realistic motorsporting experiences available currently – the likes of the official F1 titles and the F1 Manager series – then perhaps Grand Prix Story may suit. With no intricate knowledge of motorsports required, this pocket simulator ensures anyone has a shot at being world champion! And if it doesn’t, then we’re sure the accompanying drop of Pocket Arcade Story will.Â
Yep, there are two new Kairosoft additions to the Xbox market today – both delivering totally unique experiences.
Be the Boss
Available now on Xbox consoles, following previous releases on PlayStation, Switch and PC, Grand Prix Story is the latest in a long line of sports pocket sims from Kairosoft.
Whereas previously we’ve been shootin’ hoops in Basketball Club Story, seeing stars in Boxing Gym Story, and striking home runs in Home Run High, this time around we are running our own racing team. Try to become the best team out there by hiring star talent, engineering newer and better vehicles, and entering a host of global Grand Prix, and look to take the top step of the podium.
The opportunity to develop your own parts, and customise them to your liking, ensures that no two playthroughs of Grand Prix Story are the same. Perhaps in one run you splash the cash exclusively on drivers, and let their ability do the talking on-track. Other times it may be prudent to invest primarily in the car itself, to propel any old Joe Bloggs to victory.
Key Features
- Try your hand at managing an auto racing team!
- Become the boss of your own team, training drivers and acquiring sponsors before conquering the Grand Prix!
- Develop new vehicles and parts, and customize them any way you like! Do you have what it takes to make it to the winner’s circle?
- No knowledge of motorsports is required to play!
Join the Arcade
If the F1 scene isn’t your bag, then Pocket Arcade Story may well be.
This one lets you create the arcade of your dreams, picking games, adding fun elements like photo booths and ensuring that the customers come flooding. Will it have enough to go up against the might of Arcade Paradise? Probably not, but as a new pocket story, it should suffice.

Grand Prix Story is now available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Switch and PC. Check it out now on the Xbox Store for £9.99.
