Preorders for NASCAR 25 are live today, giving fans the chance to lock in their copy ahead of the October 14, release on PlayStation and Xbox. A Windows version will arrive on Steam on November 11. Developed by iRacing, the game promises the most realistic NASCAR experience yet, with modern graphics, accurate tracks, and detailed car physics that bring stock car racing to life.
Extended Gameplay Shows What’s Ahead
A new extended gameplay video dropped alongside the preorder announcement, offering a deeper look at the game. Fans can see everything from driver selection and pre-race ceremonies to full laps on Cup and Xfinity tracks. The visuals stand out, with realistic lighting, track textures, and dynamic shadows that make every turn feel alive.
Car handling also takes center stage. Players will notice cars behave differently depending on speed, track, and conditions. With driving assists turned down, precision becomes essential, while casual players can adjust settings to enjoy the thrill without getting overwhelmed. The video makes it clear that NASCAR 25 is designed for both hardcore sim racers and newcomers alike.
Track Variety and Challenges
NASCAR 25 offers an impressive lineup of tracks across the Cup, Xfinity, Truck, and ARCA series. Players can race on superspeedways like Daytona and Talladega, tight short tracks such as Martinsville and Bristol, and technical road courses, including Circuit of the Americas and the Chicago Street Course. Charlotte, Dover, and many others are also included.
Not every real-world track made it in, especially for ARCA, but there’s still plenty to explore. Each track type brings a different challenge. Short tracks demand focus and patience, superspeedways test drafting and timing, and road courses require precision at every turn. The variety keeps gameplay fresh and gives players plenty of reasons to come back for more.
Red Bull Returns to NASCAR
Another big story adding excitement is Red Bull’s return to the Cup Series. The brand is now sponsoring Trackhouse Racing, backing Shane van Gisbergen and rookie Connor Zilisch in select events. While this isn’t part of the game itself, it adds extra energy to the season and gives fans one more reason to be excited for NASCAR 25.
Looking Ahead
With preorders open today and the gameplay video showing what’s possible, NASCAR 25 is shaping up to deliver an exciting, next-gen racing experience. Between the track variety, realistic handling, and the real-world buzz of Red Bull’s return, there’s a lot for fans to look forward to when the game launches this fall.
