Continue, as we explore everything about NASCAR 25, from potential release windows to gameplay improvements and platform support. Here's everything we know so far.
When will NASCAR 25 be released?
A few days back, iRacing and NASCAR confirmed that NASCAR 25 will launch on October 14, 2025, via a YouTube video.
This will be the first standalone NASCAR title that is being produced by iRacing, the developers behind the most authentic motorsport racing simulation in the world. iRacing will be bringing its expertise from acclaimed titles like NASCAR Racing 2003 and NASCAR Thunder to a full-fledged console release.
What platforms will NASCAR 25 be on?
NASCAR 25 will be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S at launch. A PC version will also be released shortly after via Steam; however, an exact date for that hasn't been announced yet.
Xbox One and PS4 won't be supported as developers are migrating towards current-gen consoles. Also, there won't be support for Nintendo Switch either.
What can fans expect from NASCAR 25 Career Mode?
The Career Mode in NASCAR 25 is expected to be the biggest highlight, as it will include all four premium NASCAR series. This includes the Cup Series, Xfinity Series, and Craftsman Truck Series, and for the first time in a standalone title, the ARCA Menards Series.
Players will start in a backyard garage by building their first car and then working their way up through the ranks. You'll not only be competing on the track but also managing sponsors, funds, facilities, and staff, and making off-track decisions that affect your reputation and progression.
You will also be handling charity events, signing movie deals, and making strategic calls that influence your path to the top. Simplified management options will also be available for people who prefer pure racing; this will ensure that the experience remains immersive yet accessible.
The Career Mode in NASCAR 25 is aimed towards delivering the most authentic and detailed journey to date, whether you're customizing vehicles or aiming for Cup Series glory.
