The ‘worst game ever made’ is coming to Steam. The legendary truck racing disaster is tagged as psychological horror

If you believe The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is the most atrocious game in the history of the millennium, then it seems you’ve missed out on Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing by Stellar Stone. This long-forgotten catastrophe from 2003 might be making a comeback on Steam this year, leaving many wondering if it’s all just a prank.

The ultimate gaming trainwreck

Initially, let’s discuss why the game titled “Big Rigs” gained such notoriety. Launched on Windows platforms, it’s often regarded as one of the most legendary flops in gaming history, and rightfully so. In this game, your opponents remain stationary, ensuring that you emerge victorious in every race without any challenge.

To top it off, the textures are unsightly, there’s no engine sound, and animations are missing. This game is a stunning example of design flop.

The pièce de résistance of this chaos is the iconic “YOU’RE WINNER!” victory screen that appears when you conquer a race.

Make of that what you will.

Big Rigs, offering an uninterrupted driving adventure, is set to arrive in Q2 2025 with Steam achievements. However, it’s a bit overwhelming to see that it has been labeled as a psychological horror, immersive simulation, adult content (includes sexual themes), family-friendly, hentai, and more. To be honest, I find this combination quite complex for today’s understanding.
