The "foundation" for a new console gaming franchise from iRacing Studios and NASCAR is here. NASCAR 25 is now available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. You will get to race as your favorite NASCAR drivers around some of the sport's most famous race tracks.
NASCAR 25 includes racers such as William Byron, Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott, Joey Logano, Christopher Bell, and more. There are competitive online races and a "robust Career Mode" featuring guidance from Dale Earnhardt Jr. There is the NASCAR Cup Series, Xfinity Series, Craftsman Truck Series, and the ARCA Menards Series.
This release is apparently the first standalone NASCAR console title produced by iRacing. Some of the developers that worked on this release worked on some previous NASCAR games such as NASCAR Racing 2003, NASCAR: Dirt to Daytona, and the NASCAR Thunder series.
NASCAR 25 is $59.99 for the Standard Edition or $79.99 for the Gold Edition that includes the game, Season Pass, and three DLC packs that offer "over 230 paint schemes and fire suits." If you want to get the Season Pass separately later on, you can do so for $24.99.
A PC release of NASCAR 25 is coming on November 11, 2025 via Steam.
“Fans have been asking for a true next-gen NASCAR console experience for years, and with NASCAR 25 we’re finally delivering it,” said Nick Rend, NASCAR Vice President, Interactive and Emerging Platforms. “This game is the result of our long-standing collaboration with iRacing — a partner that understands the DNA of our sport better than anyone. What makes this launch so special is that it’s not just a racing game; it’s the most authentic NASCAR experience ever brought to console, built alongside the people who live and breathe this sport for anyone who’s ever wanted to feel what it’s really like.”
“NASCAR 25 is the result of an incredible team effort, and we’re so proud of what we’ve accomplished together. Our goal was to capture the authenticity, intensity, and passion that defines the sport, and I believe this game delivers that experience better than ever before,” said iRacing President Tony Gardner.
