Reviving the IndyCar Gaming Experience

This collaboration marks the first dedicated IndyCar game in over two decades. The title will be available on PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam. This comes after a previous attempt with Motorsport Games faced difficulties due to financial challenges, according to BlackBook Motorsport.

IndyCar previously partnered with Motorsport Games with the intention of releasing a standalone game, but those plans where derailed by the publisher’s financial issues. This new agreement with iRacing represents a renewed effort to provide fans with an official IndyCar gaming experience, bringing the series in line with competitors like Formula One and NASCAR, which both have established licensed games.

A Strategic partnership

J Douglas Boles, president of indycar, stated, The most competitive and challenging racing on the planet deserves a dedicated and widely available gaming experience. He further emphasized that iRacing Studios is the ideal partner for us, trusted and known to our core fans and ready to share our sport with a wider and highly engaged audience.“

Beyond the standalone game, the partnership includes a continued presence for IndyCar within the existing official iRacing simulation platform.

Release Timeline

The first standalone IndyCar title developed through this partnership is scheduled for release in the second half of 2026. This allows iRacing ample time to develop a comprehensive and immersive gaming experience for indycar fans.
