NASCAR 25 series developer Monster Games recently announced the game’s October 14 console release date. However, PC players were left in the dark until now.

However, the NASCAR 25 team on X confirmed in a comment that the Steam release will trail consoles by “about 1 month”, and since there’s no Steam pre-order, there will be “no early access” on PC. For now, you can add the game to your Steam wishlist.

When it arrives, the first multi-platform NASCAR game in over four years will be built using Unreal Engine 5, along with iRacing assets (laser scans). It will leverage Monster Games’ console expertise.

Following the ‘NASCAR 21: Ignition’ disaster, NASCAR 25 is iRacing’s first officially licensed NASCAR console/PC game, having taken over the license in 2023.

For the first time, there’s a career mode where you’ll start in a ‘backyard shop’ in the ARCA Menards series before eventually working towards becoming the NASCAR Cup Series Champion.

Here’s what to expect from the career mode:

Other game modes are Quick Race, Championship, and online multiplayer with private lobbies.

NASCAR 25 includes all four national series, along with ARCA, as well as laser-scanned tracks and cars.

Despite releasing on both PC and consoles, the team has already confirmed there will be no cross-play or split-screen modes in Year 1.

The recent NASCAR 25 tracklist reveal provided a huge list of tracks, albeit with some absences.
