Quitting Tokyo Xtreme Racer shouldn’t feel like solving a puzzle, but here we are. For some reason, this game doesn’t follow the "press ESC and exit" tradition. So if you’re ready to call it a night but can’t figure out how to leave, this guide has your back.

Option 1: Pause in the Garage

If you’re in the garage and feeling civilized, try this:

  1. Hit TAB to open the pause menu. (Yes, TAB. Not ESC. Don’t ask why—it’s just how it is.)

  2. Select Exit Game from the menu.

  3. Pat yourself on the back for finding the hidden path out.

Note: If you’re mashing ESC and yelling at your monitor, you’re not alone. TAB is an odd choice for a pause button, but hey, this game likes to keep you guessing.

Option 2: ALT+F4 (The Classic)

Let’s start with the simplest and most universal method:

  1. Press ALT+F4 while the game is open.

  2. Watch as the game closes instantly, like magic.

  3. Contemplate why this has to be your go-to method.

Warning: This does not save your progress. So make sure you’ve hit a save point before going full keyboard assassin.

Option 3: Quit from the Title Screen

If you’re driving around and can’t find a way out:

  1. Press ESC or whatever key brings up the in-game menu.

  2. Select Return to Title.

  3. Once you’re back at the main menu, look for the Quit Game option.

  4. Ignore the fact that it took several steps to close the game.

Option 4: Use Big Picture Mode or Controller

For those playing on a controller or in Steam’s Big Picture Mode:

  1. Press the PlayStation, Xbox, or Steam button to open the system menu.

  2. Select Exit Game from there.

  3. Bask in the efficiency of modern gaming interfaces.

Option 5: Task Manager (For the Chaos Enthusiast)

If all else fails or you’re feeling impatient:

  1. Open Task Manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC or CTRL+ALT+DEL).

  2. Find Tokyo Xtreme Racer in the list.

  3. Hit End Task.

  4. Relish the satisfaction of brute-forcing your way out.

Disclaimer: This is the gaming equivalent of kicking down a door when you have the key in your pocket.

Final Blurb

Quitting Tokyo Xtreme Racer shouldn’t feel like a boss fight, but here we are. Whether you ALT+F4, navigate the title screen labyrinth, or rely on TAB (of all things), the good news is that there is a way out.

Just remember to save first—unless you enjoy redoing everything. Good luck, racer, and may your future exits be smoother than your last!
