About Daytona

Daytona USA starts in 1993 with AM2 stock cars on 3 tracks and 8 player link play in arcades. Championship Circuit Edition from 1996 refines handling on Saturn with new cars, while Daytona USA 2 from 1998 adds new tracks on Model 3 boards with better draw.

Daytona USA 2001 on Dreamcast mixes classic and new courses, while Championship USA from 2017 revives the arcade line with 3 tracks and online rooms. The series has no story beyond the next rolling start, so release order suits driving feel over plot.

Good to know

Start with the 1993 original or Championship USA for modern link play. CCE suits Saturn fans after the base. Daytona 2 can be sampled rather than mastered. The 2001 Dreamcast mix works as the full package extra. No new Daytona had been dated as of September 2026, so Championship USA stands as the latest step.
