NASCAR\u2019s return to home console video gaming now has a release date, with NASCAR 25 coming out Oct. 14 for Xbox Series X\/S and PlayStation 5 consoles. A release for PC on Steam will be planned at a later date. <\/p>\n
The premier stock-car association in the world hasn\u2019t had a console release since NASCAR 21: Ignition in 2021, a game so riddled with bugs and other issues that some labeled it the worst NASCAR game ever made. This resulted in NASCAR reevaluating its video game strategy<\/a> and eventually handing the reins to iRacing<\/a>, the makers of the dominant sim racing software in the industry (not only do people use it for online NASCAR and F1 leagues, but pro teams and leagues use it to train drivers and design tracks, as NASCAR did for the just-announced naval base race in San Diego<\/a>). This is iRacing\u2019s first standalone console game. <\/p>\n NASCAR 25 will feature four of the association\u2019s seires: the Cup, Xfinity, Craftsman Truck and Arca Menards series. It\u2019ll have a career mode that includes managing and customizing not just drivers and cars but also contracts, team money and facility and staff. It\u2019ll also have multiplayer and online modes. <\/p>\n
