iRacing Studios and NASCAR® are excited to announce that NASCAR 26, the next entry in their racing video game franchise, is launching September 18* on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. Check out today’s developer diary for a look under the hood at this year’s title, which introduces a host of improvements, including a new dynamic track feature that changes how your car handles over the course of a race weekend, cross-platform multiplayer, burnouts, new tracks, and much more.
NASCAR 26 looks to build on the success of NASCAR 25, the first standalone NASCAR console title produced by iRacing, which launched on PC and consoles last fall. This year’s game, which features NASCAR star Kyle Larson as its cover driver, once again includes all four premier NASCAR series – the NASCAR Cup Series, Xfinity Series, Craftsman Truck Series, and ARCA Menards Series – with real drivers from each series, along with a groundbreaking new dynamic track feature that evolves over the course of every race weekend. Players will also find an improved Career Mode, online cross-platform multiplayer, and a host of other new features and enhancements including burnouts, an improved driving model, and more features to be announced via the gameplay trailer next week.
Two editions of NASCAR 26 will be available this September, with a Standard Edition and Gold Edition coming to all platforms. More information about pricing, pre-orders, and Gold Edition content (which includes 3 days of early access starting September 15) will be released alongside the first gameplay trailer on July 29!
