NASCAR 25 Patch
Patch fixes major crashes in Career, Championship, and multiplayer lobby modes.
Improvements include Fanatec wheel support and refined Advanced Control settings for better handling.
You ever try to make a pit stop in NASCAR 25 only to have your game spin out harder than your car? Yeah, the devs heard that one loud and clear. A new patch has pulled into the garage, and this time it’s fixing those crash-filled laps in Career and Championship mode that had players throwing their controllers like lug nuts on race day.
The patch, now live on PlayStation and Xbox, fixes multiple crashes across key game modes — most notably during Custom Repairs in Career and when backing out of a newly created Championship season. Developers also addressed a lobby crash that was frustrating multiplayer racers and tweaked how the car reset button functions, limiting it to speeds under 5 mph to keep things a little more realistic on the track.
One of the most notable improvements affects Fanatec wheel users, who occasionally lost force feedback after reconnecting their wheels. That issue has now been resolved, giving sim racing fans a smoother and more responsive driving feel. Additionally, the team re-tuned the Advanced Control settings, refining the handling experience for players who demand precision from their setups.
This patch follows a steady rollout of post-launch updates aimed at tightening performance and stability ahead of the game’s next major feature expansion. While smaller in scope, it signals the developers’ continued commitment to refining gameplay across all platforms.
Players are praising the latest patch for cleaning up Career and Championship mode issues, though a few are still hoping for specific fixes and features in future updates:
One player said their career mode still crashes after finishing races at Lucas Oil, forcing them to restart progress.
Another mentioned that track limits on road courses remain overly punishing, with even slight off-track contact stopping cars completely.
Others are calling for burnouts after a win to be added as a celebratory feature.
