Side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, ratings, and alternatives.
Dan Miles, a former underground street racer, joins the Criminal Overturn Program and becomes a street detective tasked with protecting New York City from large‑scale threats. When his mentor Detective Brad Winter is falsely arrested, Dan goes undercover, returning to the streets to uncover the truth behind the arrests and a looming terrorist plot. As Dan delves deeper, he uncovers a deadly conspiracy that threatens to devastate the city. Players must navigate high‑speed chases, investigative missions, and intense combat to stop the catastrophic attack.
Step into the shoes of Tanner, the undercover cop returning from the earlier Driver titles, as he infiltrates a global high‑performance car theft ring.

With over 156 miles of road and 25 storyline missions, Driv3r blends high‑octane racing with shooter‑style action, delivering a sandbox experience that lets you explore, cause mayhem, and interact with characters from previous Driver games.
