IndyCar

Here’s every racing game to expect over the next 12 months, from DLC and early access updates to re-releases and all-new titles

Gran Turismo 7 is the pre-eminent racing game choice on PS5. But, over the next year, there’s about to be some serious competition.

Despite having the option of using a canceled IndyCar game code base, iRacing Studios has decided to start from scratch for its 2026 game.

2026’s official IndyCar game by iRacing Studios will share vehicle dynamics with NASCAR 25, if not the graphics engine. Here’s why.

We spoke to iRacing Studios to understand how the 2026 IndyCar game is progressing and how technology will be shared across multiple games.

INDYCAR will once again have its own dedicated video game in 2026, with iRacing Studios helming the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC project.

The title, expected in 2024, could become part of an ongoing ‘restructuring’ programme at developer Motorsport Games following the sale of its NASCAR gaming agreement.

Motorsport Games has moved to clarify the upcoming IndyCar game’s development, stating on an earnings call that while it’s currently functional, it’s been pushed back to ‘meet expectations’.

The company’s CEO Dmitry Kozko highlighted on the third quarter 2022 earnings call that all available resources are with the game development teams and it doesn’t anticipate a change of 2023 line-up.
