The highly anticipated, laser-scanned, and truly authentic NASCAR experience that console fans have been asking for has finally arrived – NASCAR 25.
NASCAR 25, the official game of NASCAR from iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations, has launched today for early access players. This groundbreaking new title is now available on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, with the Gold Edition priced at £66.99.
This is the NASCAR game you’ve been waiting for, featuring ALL FOUR National Series and a level of authenticity previously unmatched on console.
A New Era of Authenticity
NASCAR 25 marks a monumental moment for console racing. It’s the first standalone NASCAR console title produced by iRacing, the developers behind the most authentic motorsport racing simulation in the world.
They’ve brought their decades of expertise, including developers who worked on fan-favourite NASCAR games like NASCAR Racing 2003 and the NASCAR Thunder series, to deliver the ultimate NASCAR video game experience.

All Four National Series
For the first time ever in NASCAR video game history, NASCAR 25 features ALL FOUR National Series: the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and the ARCA Menards Series, complete with real drivers from each.
iRacing has brought its industry-leading technology to consoles, with laser-scanned car models and tracks for a level of authenticity that is previously unmatched. The physics model has been finely tuned by experts and is based on real-world feedback from actual NASCAR drivers and race teams, immersing you in the sights and sounds of race day like never before.
And then, the robust Career Mode lets you work your way up from your backyard shop in the ARCA Menards series all the way through to becoming a multi-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion. You can customise your own driver and vehicles, manage contracts, money, facilities, and staff, and make strategic choices on and off the track that will play a pivotal role in your journey.
Beyond Career Mode, all four series are playable in other gameplay modes, such as Quick Race, Championship, and online multiplayer for up to 40 players.
A Race We’ve Been Anticipating
We’ve been keenly following the development of this groundbreaking title.
It was back in February that we first got wind of the new focus, when we reported that NASCAR 25 would shift gears with its in-depth career mode.
And frankly, this is a game that promises to be a world away from previous arcade-style attempts. We previously reviewed NASCAR Arcade Rush from 2023, giving it a 2.5/5 score and finding it to be a “tedious affair” that was “going round in circles.” NASCAR 25 aims for a completely different kind of experience.
