Could be a redirect, but an editor insists on recreating. The current sourcing is either regurgitated press releases, primary, or non-reliable. Searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sourcing to meet WP:GNG. Onel5969 TT me 23:38, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

- Speedy keep WP:BEFORE seems to not have been performed at all in this case. The game has 5 critical reviews, as well as articles in Wired and CNET among others.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 04:07, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- The keeping would be speedier if these reviews were added to the article.. Geschichte (talk) 10:09, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

- Keep, also covered by TF1 (associated competition), and launch or pre-launch announcements by Rock Paper Shotgun [1], w:nl:Computer Idee [2], Motorsport Network [3], Gamereactor [4], w:it:Auto (periodico) [5]. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 20:02, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- Keep, article has already been expanded with sources and additional sources have been provided above. NemesisAT (talk) 20:09, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- Keep Found three decent reviews of the subject in two reliable sources (per WP:VG/RS) in GameStar and Absolute Games [6] [7], and in a gaming magazine Giochi per il mio computer [8]. In addition to this, CNET and Wired coverage posted above is also non-trivial. I'm not impressed at all by the WP:ROUTINE and/or WP:PROMO pre-release bits mentioned by Alexis Jazz, but these five I mentioned are more than enough for a WP:GNG pass.

- Added two more reliable citations to the article. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 21:03, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- Jovanmilic97, I don't know every bit of policy from the top of my head. Routine is right I suppose, but I kinda doubt it's promo. Sites/magazines like that just write about stuff that they think will capture the attention of their audience. Advertorials exist but reliable sources generally mark those as such. This is just easy news and the "free game from Volvo" headline is sure to generate some views. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 01:36, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
- Keep, see the added sources. /Julle (talk) 12:48, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
