OutRun 2 is a 2003 arcade racing game developed by Sega AM2, released for arcade hardware and later ported to Xbox. The fourth entry in the OutRun series overall, it stands as the first direct sequel to the original Out Run. Players drive exotic cars along branching scenic routes in the series' characteristic style, emphasizing high-speed thrills and accessible arcade handling over simulation. The game carries forward the breezy, sun-soaked aesthetic and stage-select structure established by its 1986 predecessor, updating them with contemporary visuals for early 2000s hardware. As part of the long-running OutRun lineage, the title balances nostalgia for the original's design sensibilities with refinements suited to a new generation of arcade and home console players.
