Everything You Need to Know About iRacing’s NASCAR 25 Console Game (So Far)
What’s Happening? Since late 2023, NASCAR fans have been waiting for the release of iRacing’s upcoming NASCAR console game. In…
iRacing has officially announced the pricing tiers for its upcoming NASCAR game, NASCAR ’25, alongside a September 18 pre-order date.
NASCAR ’25 will be released on October 14 in two editions: Gold and Standard. A Gold Edition was a long-running rumor, confirmed by a short teaser trailer last week during the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series Playoff race at Texas Motor Speedway.
The Standard Edition of NASCAR ’25 has no special features beyond the base game. Still, with a pre-order, it has 5,000 Career Bonus Dollars, 500 Career Rep Points, and three bonus paint schemes from the cover drivers Christopher Bell, Ryan Blaney, and William Byron.
The Gold Edition comes with “VIP Employees,” 10,000 Career Bonus Dollars, 1,000 Rep Points, and 3 DLC packs (which iRacing claims feature 230+ paint schemes and firesuits). When you pre-order the Gold Edition, it comes with the same bonus as the standard edition.
The Gold Edition costs $79.99, and the Standard Edition costs $59.99; the price on the Standard is a bit lower compared to standard AAA games, but is the same as the standard edition of EA Sports’ F1 25, though that game’s Icon Edition costs $89.99.
Of course, there is a season pass, which costs $24.99, for those who buy the standard edition but want the Gold Edition bonuses. This price is relatively high, making it five dollars cheaper to buy the Gold Edition.
Though there is no telling how much fans are willing to pay for the game and DLC, this will be the first Multi-platform NASCAR Console game since 2021, making it perhaps the most anticipated NASCAR game ever.
While the game is the first to feature the four highest divisions of NASCAR, this week’s unveiling of the game’s playable racetrack’s left fans disappointed, with two tracks missing from the Cup and Xfinity Series and multiple tracks missing from the ARCA Menards Series.
NASCAR ’25 will be released on Xbox Series X/S and PS5 on Oct. 14, with a PC port on Steam set for release at a later date. For any and all information, including timelines, promotional videos, and in-game info, make sure to check out our in-depth article on NASCAR ’25 below.
